Scarlett Moffatt has revealed she and partner Scott Dobinson have decided not to have any more children following a miscarriage. The Gogglebox star, 35, described the loss as “soul-destroying” and said she could not face the heartbreak of trying again.
Speaking to The Sun, Moffatt explained that after struggling for “three and a bit years” to conceive their son Jude, now two, she told Scott: “I just don’t think I can handle the heartbreak any more. I think we should stop. We’ve got Jude, so let’s enjoy him.” She added: “You mourn the loss of that and the life you imagined.”
The news comes shortly after Moffatt won the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special alongside professional partner Vito Coppola. The pair scored a perfect 40 for their Cha Cha to Cher’s DJ Play A Christmas Song. Moffatt, a former British Ballroom Champion, said: “Strictly reignited the fire inside of me, reminding me that I love dance.”
Moffatt, who also won I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! in 2016, said being part of the Christmas special was a “bucket-list moment”. She began dancing as a child and trained under Strictly judge Anton Du Beke.
