Scarlett Moffatt has described her Saturday Night Takeaway co-stars Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly as “the brothers I never had”.

The TV star, who recently appeared to confirm her romance with fitness model Lee Wilkinson, said they have helped her forge her on-screen career.

Speaking about her relationship with the award-winning double act and Takeaway co-star Stephen Mulhern, she 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.”

She said: “I’m brutally honest as you know, I’d probably say ‘her squeaky voice does my head in’.”

While she has found success as a TV star, Moffatt said there is one ambition that is still out of reach, adding: “The only thing I can never get my hands on is a driving licence, I’ve failed my driving test too many times than I care to think about.”

Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway returns to ITV on February 24 at 7pm.
