She’s gone from watching TV on Goggle box to landing a presenting job on Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway. Here Scarlett, 27, tells us how she confronted her childhood tormentors, that she suffers from crippling panic attacks and why she’s written her life story
You’ve decided to publish your autobiography. Why did you want to write it?
I wanted to share everything. I hope when people read the book it feels like I am just sitting on their couch chatting away. My mam told me she was so proud of how open I have been.
What really comes across is just how close you are to your family…
My friends don’t hang out with their parents. But your family can be really honest with you. They are always going to be there for you and I love hanging out with them.

'THAT'S NOT MY BABY'
Lying in the hospital bed, my husband Michael had tears of happiness in his eyes as he showed me a photo on his phone. 'Here she is,' he said proudly. 'This is our beautiful baby girl.'I stared at the photo and shook my head. 'No, that's not my baby,' I said. 'There must be a mistake.'It was August 2010 and I'd not long before had an emergency caesarean. I'd not had a chance to see Winnie when she arrived as she'd been whisked away for tests because she was nearly two months premature.
