Scarlett Moffatt has responded to those Ant McPartlin dating rumours, maintaining that he and Dec Donnelly are like ‘brothers’ to her.
In an interview ahead of her appearance on Saturday Night Takeaway this weekend, Scarlett said: “They’re like the brothers I never had.
“They’re genuinely lovely, down to earth people who offer me a lot of brilliant career advice.”
Those of you who haven’t been living under a large rock in the forest for the last few months will likely be aware of the speculation about a romance between Scarlett and Ant.
After Ant’s marriage to Lisa McPartlin broke down towards the end of last year, it was rumoured that he had been secretly hooking up with Scarlett.
This was further intensified when fans spotted a photo of the two of them by her bed in the background of a selfie she posted to Instagram.
A representative for Ant said the rumours were ‘total bullshit’ and Scarlett insisted that Ant and Dec were just her ‘heroes’.
Scarlett then went Insta official with her new boyfriend Lee Wilkinson, and appeared to shut down any Ant romance rumours for good.
She posted a picture of Lee alongside the caption: "It’s good to be back in the toon @malmaisonhotels & @thebotanistuk ❤️😍 #datenight".
This came after a source told The Sun: "Scarlett hasn’t been concerned by the Ant speculation as she has been focused on her new relationship. She has always liked Lee but after making it in television and moving to London, Scarlett never expected to get together with him.”
