Scarlett Moffatt Sparks Speculation with I'm A Celebrity South Africa Final Hint
Television personality Scarlett Moffatt has potentially let slip a significant spoiler regarding the eagerly anticipated conclusion of I'm A Celebrity... South Africa. The 35-year-old presenter, who originally triumphed in the show's Australian edition back in 2016, made a revealing comment during an appearance on This Morning on April 2nd.
All Stars Series Features Past Favourites in South African Jungle
Moffatt is among a roster of beloved former contestants returning for the second All Stars series, officially titled I'm A Celebrity... South Africa. This special edition, which is largely pre-recorded, sees past participants competing in the South African wilderness for the prestigious title of 'I'm A Celeb Legend'. The star-studded lineup includes notable names such as Gemma Collins, Ashley Roberts, and Adam Thomas, alongside other fan favourites.
The series is scheduled to culminate in a live final broadcast from London later this month. During her interview with hosts Dermot O'Leary and Alison Hammond, Moffatt confirmed that this climactic episode is set for April 24th. Despite the final not having been filmed or aired at the time of her remarks, the former Gogglebox star appeared to offer a telling hint about which celebrities have progressed to the ultimate stage of the competition.
Moffatt Names Her Preferred Winners During Candid Exchange
When directly questioned by Alison Hammond about who she believed would emerge victorious, Moffatt initially responded with a light-hearted quip, asking, 'Is it bigheaded if I say me?' She then proceeded to express her genuine hopes for the outcome, stating emphatically, 'To be honest with you, I hope Harry Redknapp wins. He's just so wonderful.'
Moffatt further elaborated by praising four-time Olympic gold medallist Sir Mo Farah, remarking, 'And Sir Mo Farah as well. We'd still be trying to get the fire lit if it wasn't for Sir Mo. He just looked after us all.' These comments have ignited widespread speculation that both Redknapp, who was crowned King of the Jungle in 2018, and Sir Mo Farah, who placed fifth in the 2020 Wales-based series, may have secured places in the final.
In response to inquiries from the Daily Mail, an ITV spokesperson clarified the situation, explaining, 'Dermot & Alison asked Scarlett who she'd like to win and she said Harry and Mo from the campmates. She chose those two because, as she said on air, they were good at camp duties, especially the cooking.' This statement attempts to frame Moffatt's remarks as personal preferences rather than confirmed spoilers.
Historic Series Features Public Vote and Legendary Trials
The second series of this ITV spin-off is poised to launch on Monday, April 6th, featuring an ensemble of the programme's most memorable campmates. For the first time in the show's history, the viewing public will wield the power to determine who is crowned the ultimate legend of I'm A Celebrity... South Africa. After observing the celebrities navigate camp life and endure challenges, audiences will cast the decisive vote during the live grand final broadcast directly from London.
Hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly will accompany the returning stars into the South African jungle, where they will face some of the most formidable trials ever conceived in I'm A Celebrity history. The complete cast also includes Sinitta, David Haye, Beverley Callard, Seann Walsh, Craig Charles, and Jimmy Bullard, ensuring a dynamic and entertaining lineup.
Moffatt Reflects on Emotional Return to Iconic Show
Speaking previously about her return to the I'm A Celebrity franchise, Scarlett Moffatt shared her heartfelt sentiments, stating, 'I was a bit overwhelmed. Out of all the people they could pick, I felt grateful that I was even a thought because so many people have done it. I watch the show religiously and I was so happy to be asked.'
She acknowledged the personal significance of this opportunity, adding, 'I am ten years older now and it is a big challenge for me. I do feel apprehensive as I watched the first Legends series and the trials and challenges were like all the Australian trials combined - so a level up. I hope I can do them. I am going to give it my all, but I have everything to thank this show for.'
Moffatt also highlighted how her participation resonates with her family life, noting, 'I'm a mum now too and it's lovely to be able to show my little boy what I do as a job. I am going to miss him loads, but it will also be nice to have some time just for me especially as I'm A Celebrity… has been such a big part of my life.'
I'm A Celebrity South Africa will premiere on ITV1 and the streaming platform ITVX from Monday, April 6th, building towards its live final in London on April 24th.
