Scarlett Moffatt has made a pointed remark regarding the all-male final of I'm A Celebrity South Africa shortly after her own elimination. Moffatt’s departure, following a failed challenge involving coloured balls, has left a field of male contestants to compete for the title. This follows recent revelations from Moffatt detailing camp tensions, including what she described as "non-consensual 'lad banter'." Her exit comes as ITV has reportedly secured her for a new project, with filming set to commence soon.
Moffatt’s exit from the competition was reportedly a source of disappointment for viewers. The channel's decision to book her for a subsequent major project suggests a continued investment in her presence. This development is significant given Moffatt's prior history with the show, having previously won the "Queen of the Jungle" title.

"Last time I felt like a bit of an imposter. We weren’t constantly on edge, because we knew our way around camp life."
Moffatt had expressed her desire for Sir Mo Farah to be crowned the winner in the show's live final. Her comments about camp dynamics, suggesting friction caused by what she termed "non-consensual 'lad banter'," offer a glimpse into the show's behind-the-scenes atmosphere. Reports had also indicated prior rifts within the camp, with mentions of an argument involving Adam Thomas and Jimmy Bullard.
Moffatt's participation in I'm A Celebrity South Africa marks her return to the jungle setting, a decade after her initial appearance. The series, which began airing on April 6, 2026, featured Moffatt among other contestants. Her previous win on the show in 2016 propelled her into broader television roles, including her time on Gogglebox.
In a separate statement, Moffatt indicated a need for personal time following her departure, citing a desire to "take a little bit of time for me and just chill." This comment was made in the context of transitioning into new professional commitments.
