In a development that has thrilled fans of the long-running series, former Gogglebox star Scarlett Moffatt has dropped a significant hint about a potential return to the show, nearly ten years after her departure. The revelation came during a recent appearance on ITV's This Morning, where the conversation turned to the beloved Channel 4 programme that first made her a household name.
From Gogglebox to Jungle Queen
Scarlett Moffatt originally joined Gogglebox in 2014 alongside her parents, Betty and Mark, quickly becoming a fan favourite with her witty commentary and family dynamics. However, in 2016, she left the show to pursue other opportunities, most notably appearing on and winning that year's series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, which earned her the title of Queen of the Jungle.
Since her jungle triumph, Moffatt has maintained a busy television career, including appearances on Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway and winning the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special in 2025. Her upcoming project sees her returning to the I'm A Celebrity franchise as part of the South Africa series, alongside notable figures like comedian Seann Walsh, boxer David Haye, and TOWIE's Gemma Collins.
A Nostalgic Conversation on This Morning
During her This Morning interview to promote the new I'm A Celebrity South Africa series, co-host Alison Hammond directly asked Moffatt about the possibility of appearing on Celebrity Gogglebox. Moffatt responded enthusiastically, stating, "I would love that. I honestly would love that. I feel like the world would implode on itself if I went on that though because it's proper full circle!"
The discussion continued with presenter Dermot O'Leary suggesting she bring her parents back, while Hammond proposed including her fiancé, Scott Dobinson. Moffatt praised Dobinson's humour, saying, "To be honest, Scott is the funniest person, he is so funny." Reflecting on a potential return, she added, "I don't know. It was hard because back then you don't meet the people you're talking about on the telly."
Gratitude and Full Circle Moments
Moffatt has frequently expressed her appreciation for the opportunities that stemmed from her television career. In a recent statement to ITV, she explained her decision to join I'm A Celebrity South Africa, noting, "I have everything to thank this show for. Doing Gogglebox was lovely, but I'm A Celebrity was the first programme I'd done on my own."
She also shared a touching anecdote about hosts Ant and Dec, recalling how they supported her when she first moved to London by inviting her for Sunday dinners when she missed family meals. This sense of nostalgia and connection underscores why a return to Gogglebox holds such appeal for both Moffatt and her fans.
Gogglebox continues to air every Friday at 9pm on Channel 4, featuring everyday families and their reactions to the week's television. The possibility of Scarlett Moffatt rejoining the show, whether in a celebrity edition or with her family, represents a potential full-circle moment that could reignite viewer interest and celebrate one of the programme's most memorable alumni.
