Scarlett Moffatt has admitted she worries her three-year-old son Jude will feel left out when his baby brother is born. The former Gogglebox star, 35, is expecting her second child with partner Scott Dobinson and is already planning how to ensure Jude feels included.
In an exclusive interview with the Mirror, Moffatt said: 'One thing I just love about Jude is how loving he is. But I do have a feeling that at some point he’s going to ask, “When is the baby going back?”' She added: 'How do you explain to a little toddler that this new baby is going to be sticking around? I just have to make sure he doesn’t feel left out. I’m watching a lot of TikToks on how to stop him from feeling like that.'
Moffatt, who shot to fame on Gogglebox in 2014, has a strong support network including her partner Scott and her parents Betty and Mark. She said: 'Oh my God, it’s so lovely for them. Mam and Dad had two girls, so for them having boys is great. Dad’s already so excited to take them to the football.' She also praised Scott’s parents, saying: 'Scott’s mum and dad are amazing too. I see where he gets his loveliness from.'
The TV personality, who recently appeared on ITV's I'm A Celebrity spin-off in South Africa, said she believes she was 'born to be a boy mum' and is unfazed by the chaos. 'I like the spontaneity of boys. That feeling of, is he gonna jump off this slide? I think I’m made for that type of danger,' she said.
Moffatt gave birth to Jude at 35 weeks in 2023, and he spent time in neonatal intensive care. She previously opened up about the experience on the CBeebies Parenting Helpline podcast, saying she didn't know how friends could best support her during that time.
