Scarlett Moffatt shows off amazing weight loss transformation after ditching extreme diet

Scarlett Moffatt has revealed a major change in her appearance, telling fans she has given up her size 18 clothes after years of weight fluctuations and body image battles.

The former Gogglebox star, 31, appeared on Big Brother: Late and Live on Sunday, where she drew attention for her slimmed down look and received endless compliments from her millions of fans on social media.

Wearing a dark green feather-trimmed co-ord with a matching mini skirt, Scarlett looked more confident than ever as she debuted her new look.

She later posted the outfit on Instagram, writing: "Always been a huge fan of Big Brother, in fact my guilty pleasure will forever be a chicken kebab and watching reality tv! So glad I got to do a major tick off my bucket list and be at a launch night at @bbuk."

Her public appearance comes after she discussed years of extreme dieting and unhealthy habits. Scarlett previously admitted she once limited herself to 700 calories a day and attended a Swiss bootcamp that required six hours of exercise daily.

The strict regime followed the release of her 2016 fitness DVD, which documented her impressive three-stone weight loss and she later said the experience left her feeling miserable despite her smaller size and feeling slightly more confident in her appearance.

Scarlett has since spoken openly about rejecting damaging routines in favour of self-acceptance. In a recent interview with The Sun, she explained: "The thing with being body positive and having body confidence is just celebrating everybody’s body. As long as you are healthy, being yourself and you’re being nice to people, you do you."

She has also reflected on the impact of negative self-talk and how she approaches it differently today. "Would you ever say horrible things to a six-year-old? Of course not. So don’t say it to yourself either," she said.

The much-loved reality TV star described regretting years she felt were lost to insecurity but now hopes her career can help challenge unrealistic beauty standards. She has said she is pleased that younger generations are exposed to more varied body types on TV screens and believes representation matters for self-esteem in teenagers.

Since her television debut on Gogglebox in 2014, Scarlett has built a hugely successful career, including winning I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! in 2016.

In addition to light entertainment, she has moved into documentary work. Her next project, Britain’s Tourette’s Mystery: Scarlett Moffatt Investigates, will air on Channel 4 later this year.

Scarlett, who has spoken about how becoming a mother changed her outlook, says she is focused on balance rather than extremes.

She now positions herself as a role model for body positivity and has said that she hopes experiences will encourage others to prioritise health and kindness over unrealistic standards.
