Fans rushed to congratulate Scarlett, 26, on her role, with one writing: 'Soooo excited!!! Your such a fab role model and inspiration to so many, including myself!!! Love you @scarlett_moffatt.'

'I will definitely watch this for the first time ever now you and @joeldommett are on it!!! X' another agreed. The announcement comes after it was confirmed that former hosts Vicky Pattison and Stacey Solomon would not be returning to the line-up.

At the time that their departure was revealed, Scarlett was instantly rumoured as a replacement, and now her appointment has been made official.

It's the latest in a string of presenting roles for previous Queen of the Jungle Scarlett, who won the ITV series in 2016, beating now co-host Joel to the coveted title.

Following a successful stint with Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly on their primetime show Saturday Night Takeaway, Scarlett also followed in the footsteps of Davina McCall by fronting the reboot of Channel 4's Streetmate.

'I remember watching Davina on Streetmate when I was younger and thinking females can present entertainment shows too, I want to do that when I'm older,' she exclaimed about the programme.

'It's such a fun show and it's two of my favourite things to do, chat to randomers and a love story.'
