Why did Scarlett Moffatt quit Gogglebox?

She left the show to appear in ITV fan-favourite I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! in 2016. Naturally, she was an absolute gem in the camp and became that year's Queen of the Jungle. DESERVEDLY.

“The show’s producers have not had any conversations with Scarlett about leaving or returning to Gogglebox after her stint in the Jungle.

“The Moffatts have been excellent contributors to Gogglebox, and we are very grateful for all they have given to the show.”
