Scarlett Moffatt 'set to sign up for I'm A Celeb All Stars' as TV star prepares to head to South Africa 10 years after winning the show

Daily Mail​2 days ago

Scarlett Moffatt is reportedly planning her return to TV and is in talks to join the All Stars version of I'm A Celebrity: Get Me Out Of Here!
The Gogglebox star, 34, was crowned Queen of the Jungle back in 2016, so her appearance on All Stars would mark her tenth anniversary of winning the show.
Filming is set to start in South Africa later this year with a source telling The Sun: 'Scarlett won I'm A Celeb in 2016 and was hugely popular with viewers, so everyone's really excited she might be returning for the new All Stars series.
'She is so game for a laugh and knows what to expect in terms of the Bushtucker Trials, so she'll throw herself into every task.
'Scarlett is a mum now and she wants to do it to show her little boy how brave she can be.'

MailOnline have contacted Scarlett's representatives and ITV for comment.
It was revealed in February that Ant and Dec would be returning to host another All Stars series.
A source close to the production revealed: 'It did well last time and while they can't do it annually, they wanted to do another.'
The first series featured a star-studded lineup of former contestants, including boxing champion Amir Khan, Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan, TV presenter Carol Vorderman and Olympic athlete Fatima Whitbread.
Series six runner-up Myleene Klass was crowned the winner after defeating series 16 campmate Jordan Banjo in the final survival trial.
A spin-off of the original I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, the special is filmed in Kruger National Park, South Africa, where celebrities take on various challenges in a basic, luxury-free camp.
Unlike the original format, however, the all-star series does not allow viewers to vote for contestants to face Bushtucker Trials.
Instead, the campmates battle it out for the title of 'Legend,' departing from the traditional crowning of a Jungle King or Queen.
The I'm A Celebrity… South Africa special garnered strong viewership, with an average of 5.5 million viewers tuning in per episode.
The news comes after Scarlett shared a powerful message on body confidence as she showcased her incredible dance skills during a ballroom competition at the weekend.
The TV personality previously took to Instagram to share a video of herself dancing with a pal during the contest, in which she expressed how much fun she was having on the dancefloor.
However, Scarlett then re-shared her video on Sunday where she encouraged others to not let their appearance or age stop them from doing what they love.
Alongside the clip, which sees her beaming with joy while dazzling in a neon green gown, Scarlett penned: 'I've said it once I'll say it a million times. DO NOT let your shape, size or age stop you from doing something that brings you joy.
'Don't let that silly inner sabotage voice tell you ya won't be able to do it. Don't tell yourself I'll do it when I'm thinner, when I'm fitter or when a,b or c happens. Do it now!'
The former Gogglebox favourite continued: 'I can't tell you how much joy dancing in two finals with my childhood friend has made me this weekend. I was thinking of nothing but the sheer joy that dance brings me, I hope I can encourage one more person to do the same.'

Love Island star's link to controversial Islander and her major piece of advice

EXCLUSIVE: Love Island contestant Megan Forte Clarke has revealed she worked with a former islander before entering the villa - and she gave her some very useful advice Love Island's brand-new series is kicking off with a bang on Monday, June 9, and one of the most talked-about arrivals is Megan Forte Clarke, who's ready to turn heads in the famous Mallorcan villa. But Megan isn't flying in completely blind – the 24-year-old beauty originally from Dublin but now lives in Brighton has a surprise connection to a former Islander who's already walked the walk. ‌ Megan, a makeup artist and model, revealed she received a helping hand from none other than Harriett Blackmore, who appeared on Love Island earlier this year during the All Stars-style winter edition. ‌ The two worked together in Brighton, and Harriett – known for her bold personality and glam looks – was more than happy to share her insider knowledge with her former colleague before she jetted off. Speaking exclusively ahead of her villa debut, Megan opened up about her friendship with the former Islander and the advice Harriett passed on – from the practical to the emotional. 'I worked with Harriet for 2 years, back in Brighton, so that was fun.' Harriett, 23, made waves in the early months of 2024 when she entered the villa with her signature confidence and high-energy flirting. While she didn't walk away with a partner, she certainly made an impression – and her experience left her with some words of wisdom for Megan. 'She did give me advice before going in. She was like, pack everything, like, overpack, it doesn't matter if it's overweight, you're going to need it all. So, I felt prepared having her by my side with that.' ‌ It turns out, Harriett's help was less about grafting and more about girl-prep – ensuring Megan felt confident and ready to face the unknowns of villa life. But when it comes to romantic strategy? That's where things got a little more personal. 'She didn't necessarily give me relationship advice. I feel like me and Harriett have completely different types in what we go for so, I don't think we're the best people to be giving advice to each other, but she definitely gave me a lot of, like, pep talk and was like, 'you're gonna slay, enjoy it.' She said it's the best thing she's ever done, so I'm excited.' The new summer series, which returns to ITV2 and ITVX on Monday night, is expected to bring back the classic Love Island formula with fresh singles, flirty bombshells, and dramatic recouplings under the Spanish sun. Fans are already buzzing about the new lineup, and Megan's arrival is sure to stir things up from the start. ‌ Megan describes herself as 'fun, flirtatious and fearless,' and with Harriett's pep talks in her back pocket, she's stepping in ready to slay. The Brighton-based bombshell is hoping for fireworks – and isn't afraid to shake things up if she's not feeling the spark. Megan's dating life also hasn't been plain sailing despite her stunning looks. ‌ 'I don't think I've ever had, like, a good date, especially when you meet people off Hinge and stuff. It's just, like, awkward, and I tend to talk a lot. I've experienced a lot of, like, "Oh, you buy me a drink," or like, do you know what I mean? I'm like, OK, you asked me on the date, but sure. I've been asked to go on a walk as a date before. I was like, I forgot I was a Chihuahua.' With Harriett cheering her on from the sidelines and millions watching back home, all eyes will be on Megan as she steps through the villa doors. 'I'm an open book. I know everyone says that. What you see is what you get.' Will she find love, cause chaos, or both? One thing's for sure – she's going in prepared. Love Island returns Monday, June 9 at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

Idris Elba: ‘I want to build the African Odeon'

Idris Elba has spoken of his ambition to create the 'African Odeon' – a chain of cinemas to ignite the cinemagoing experience across the continent. Elba was speaking at an event at SXSW London in which he spoke to host Clara Amfo in a session called Creativity as Capital for Change. In remarks reported by the Hollywood Reporter and Screen, Elba said: 'There's a crazy number across the entire continent – less than about 3,000 cinemas, actual cinemas that you and I have grown up with. I would love to be able to tackle some of that, because I believe that the cinema experience that we all have gone through should be experienced by a new generation. I don't think it should all be on a phone.' Elba added: 'How do I do that? Building a model of data that shows that actually people do want to watch films, that they will enjoy the experience of theatre. I'm not going to try and boil the ocean, but it's going to happen one bit at a time … Yeah man, I want to build the African Odeon.' Elba, who was born in London to a Sierra Leonean father and a Ghanaian mother, has spoken previously about his ambitions to support the film industry in sub-Saharan Africa, saying in October: 'It's really important that we own those stories of our tradition, of our culture, of our languages, of the differences between one language and another.' He is also part of a consortium developing an 'eco city' on Sherbro Island in Sierra Leone. In London, Elba mentioned an AI-powered app called Talking Scripts that turns written material into audio, aiming to help people with reading difficulties such as dyslexia, as well as a digital wallet he had co-founded, called Akuna Wallet, designed to help creatives send money across borders more easily than before. He added: 'Any film or piece of music that was made in the 80s was made on equipment less superior than your phone is now. These kids know that. They are making films, they are making songs on these devices. Ultimately, there is a wall when it comes to getting it out there and monetising it, [but] I think the confidence that Afrobeats, Nollywood, has given African creators, young creators, is huge.'
