Scarlett Moffatt finally 'lifts curse' after 13 failed attempts

Television personality Scarlett Moffatt has finally passed her driving test after 14 attempts.

The Gogglebox star lifted her driving curse after almost two decades of tests. Scarlet often joked she was a "nightmare" on the roads but she's now finally able to ditch the learner plates and take her car for a spin.

Discussing her success on an upcoming BBC One show, Scarlett’s Driving School, she said: "I just get so excited every time I get my car keys, because I’ve been learning since I was 17 and I’m 32 now, you know it’s been a long time coming.

"I don’t mean to live up to the stereotypical 'women can’t park', but this woman cannot park." Though she's excited to hit the road, she said she's putting her health and safety first as she's no longer enjoying alcohol as much.

Speaking to PA, she added: "I feel like I’m now the designated driver for everyone, and actually weirdly, I feel healthier for it.

"In the sense that before when we would go out for food I would always have a couple glasses of wine, whereas now I’m not, because I’m the designated driver."

Scarlett's BBC driving series will see her hop behind the wheel to help other learners who are struggling to pass their tests. Each driver will become a classmate of Scarlett's driving school and undergo her very own five-day crash course.
