Next week, Scarlett Moffatt starts her latest gig - a regular stint on Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway in Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts' former job.

And Ashley has now insisted that she has 'nothing but well wishes' for Scarlett, despite also seeming to confirm that Scarlett replaced her on the show.

'I don't really know Scarlett,' she admitted. 'I didn't watch the Jungle. But I'm sure the boys are going to have fun with her, and she'll have such a fun time.'

Happy for her: Ashley Roberts has 'nothing but well wishes' for Scarlett Moffatt as she starts on Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway... and seems to confirm she WAS replaced by the jungle queen

'I know they're all Geordies, I know they'll probably have a good time and have the same banter.

'I absolutely love and adore those boys and we've all talked. It's been a great run. I did four seasons with the boys and it's been awesome, I love them to pieces. I've known for a little while. Everybody reached out to me and we all had a nice discussion and it was handled well.'

Scarlett's star being on the rise since her I'm A Celebrity win means it was inevitable she'd get snatched away from the show that made her famous, Gogglebox, for other projects.

Unfortunately for her parents Betty and Mark, this has meant they have been axed from Gogglebox - the show that made Scarlett famous to begin with.

It would seem that it one Moffatt goes, the rest go.

Moving on: The new series returns next week; and Channel 4 have confirmed that the family will not be appearing on it

The new series returns next week; and Channel 4 have confirmed that the family will not be appearing on it.

A source close to the decision said: 'We’ll be sad to see the Moffatt family leave the show, but it does make sense. Scarlett was the star of the family, and without her there we don’t know whether it would have worked.

'The whole promise of Gogglebox is normal people commenting on the TV. Scarlett is now a celebrity in her own right so it made sense she wouldn’t continue.

'She and her parents came as a package. It wouldn’t work so well without all three of them.'

The family have already skipped a season; the late 2016 run didn't involve them as Scarlettm, 26, was appearing on I'm A Celeb in Australia, with her parents out there with her.

Gogglebox was slammed for not airing any of Scarlett's scenes; but when it featured the 'cast' watching the jungle final - which saw Scarett win it -the reactions came across as relatively awkward.

Since her win, the star has been offered a plethora of other TV work.

She will be also appearing on a reboot of Streetmate, is set to shoot a pilot with Alan Carr, was the backstage correspondent at the National Television Awards, has appeared on Jamie Oliver's show, as well as panel series Virtually Famous.
