Scarlett Moffatt says Scotch eggs covered in chocolate helped sort her life out

Scarlett Moffatt, has revealed that her go-to snack is Scotch eggs lashed with chocolate spread - saying that the bizarre combination of flavours is the secret to her stardom.

The I'm A Celeb winner and Gogglebox star said that she initially discovered the sweet-savoury crossover after coming home drunk from a night on the tiles, and finding the ingredients in her refrigerator.

The 31-year-old from Bishop Auckland said that she sat watching TV 'in just my pants' whilst eating the newfound favourite, and was brutally told by her mother 'this is why you haven't got a boyfriend'. The comment is said to have brought an epiphany to Scarlett, thus, she credits it to helping her bring order to her life.

The Daily Star reports that speaking on the Dish podcast, she said: “One of my favourite buffet snacks is a scotch egg - but a scotch egg with chocolate spread. I know, that does sound like a pregnancy craving.

“It’s like, the savoury and sweet combo. I thought ‘I can’t have them dry, that’s dirty’. So we had chocolate spread. It was lovely. I remember I was sat watching [sitcom] Bottom on the telly in just my pants, eating scotch eggs and chocolate spread. Me mum came in and went ‘this is why you haven’t got a boyfriend’. I was like, ‘actually, yeah, you’re right’.

"It was one of those realisation moments. So I feel it holds a special place in my heart, scotch eggs and chocolate spread, for helping me sort my life out."

Scarlett also told that her favourite sandwich filling is 'cheese and onion crisps' with 'sliced banana', and that she used to sprinkle Wotsits on her beans on toast as a student. On her perfect sandwich, she said: “Buttery bread, cheese and onion crisps and sliced banana.”

Podcast co-host and Michelin-starred chef Angela Hartnett told her ‘I could see that working’, with Scarlett responding: “This is giving me the confidence to become a chef.”
