New reports this weekend, suggest that Scarlett will abandon the home she was due to share with Luke and will therefore return to The Moffatts' abode.

The Bishop Auckland, County Durham home that Scarlett originally shared with mum Betty and dad Mark, as well as nine-year-old sister Ava-Grace, is the same one where she originally found fame on Channel 4's Gogglebox.

A source told The Mirror this weekend that she was back with her parents for support as she recovers from her break-up. 

'She's not going to get over Luke in a day,' the insider explained. 'They had talked about marriage and the future a lot.

'Splitting up has been hard for both of them. Scarlett has got an incredibly close group of pals, though, and extremely supportive parents. They are rallying round and really making things easier.'

News of a split between Scarlett and her hairdresser boyfriend emerged on Friday, when it was revealed that a 'sad' Scarlett hoped to remain friends with her ex-beau. 

Late last month, the couple looked to have been in a good place with Scarlett taking Luke to the National Television Awards where she was working as a backstage presenter.

Friends with the family: Officially, Scarlett had taken her father (right) as her date, so the split will have no doubt come as a surprise to all (here with Luke, left, and Betty, centre)

But according to The Sun, the Gogglebox star has been so busy following her return from the jungle, that she and Luke have been struggling to spend time together.

A source close to the couple told the newspaper: 'Scarlett is sad about her break up with Luke but she really hopes they can remain friends.

'It's a positive thing that Scarlett's schedule is so busy at the moment as it will take her mind off the split.'

A return to her family home could uproot Scarlett's sharp work trajectory, which has landed her huge TV jobs in the British capital.

The 26-year-old star recently signed up to be a co-presenter alongside Ant & Dec for their show Saturday Night Takeaway and will also host a reboot of Channel 4 dating show Streetmate.

'At the moment she needs to concentrate on her career. After all, she's got plenty of time to settle down in the future,' the insider added.

The split will come as a surprise to fans of the reality star, with Scarlett previously making no secret of the fact she felt ready to make a long term commitment to her beau.

'My friend works at a jewellers and he invited me over. I said, 'While I'm here, I might as well try some rings on'', she told The Mirror last November before heading to the Australian jungle for I'm A Celeb.

'I pointed out which one I liked and what my ring size is, just so Luke knows which one to get in the future. If that isn't a hint, I don't know what is.' 

The couple even confided to OK! magazine in December that they had discussed names for their future children.

'We've had a baby name chat,' she told the publication, with Luke revealing she wanted to call their daughter Aurora.

It hasn't always been smooth sailing for the pair - last August it was reported Scarlett was concerned her hard-earned cash could be squandered by her beau.

In texts obtained by The Sun Online, the 25-year-old reality starlet appeared to contact her beau's ex-girlfriend after hearing that he may have been lying about his finances. 

Initially tracking down the former flame through Facebook in May, Scarlett's message allegedly read: 'I was wrongly fobbed off into believing Luke had money and owned a home in London etc which obv I found out isn't true which doesn't bother as I earn my own money but I don't want to be taking the p**s out of.'

She continued: 'My friends and family are just worrying I'm a meal ticket and as lovely as he I just want to make sure that this isn't true although when I hear things like this I just don't want the same to happen [sic].' 

Woo! Scarlett took to Twitter during the National Television Awards where she shared a snapshot with Ant & Dec, who'll she'll work with on Saturday Night Takeaway 

After hearing from Luke's ex that he still allegedly owed her money from the loans, Scarlett seemed adamant that the news was enough to break them up. 

She wrote back: 'I've finished it off with him, two of the main reasons being money and the day that's two people that have said he told them he loved them after a week, he's obviously perfect his game playing and will do this to every girl [sic].'  

However, despite being seemingly certain that she was calling things off with her beau, Scarlett clearly had a change of heart, claiming he had been honest with her about his past.

A representative for Scarlett confirmed the split but had no further comment when contacted by Mail Online.
