Scarlett Moffatt bonded with Chloe Burrows over ghosts in Scared of the Dark

The former ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here’ winner bonded with her former ‘Love Island’ star Chloe Burrows, 27, when they experienced the ghosts living in the former RAF base in Bedfordshire where they filmed the Danny Dyer-fronted Channel 4 show.

The 32-year-old TV star told The Sun newspaper’s TV Biz column: “Me and Chloe Burrows once thought we’d seen a couple of soldiers. We were like, ‘Did you see that?’ And she’s like, ‘The soldier? Yeah.’ And I was like, ‘That was weird.’

“They told us the place was haunted. It freaked me and Chloe out.”

Scarlett - who is currently expecting her first child with her boyfriend Scott Dobinson - recently admitted how the show made her into a “different human being”.

She told OK! magazine: “I feel like a different human being. I feel like I can conquer the world now. I’ve never actually sat down and thought about how privileged I am to have sight. I have so much respect for anybody who has lost sight or is partially sighted because you don’t realise how much you rely on it.”

The former ‘Gogglebox’ star gushed about the “friendships” forged with the rest of the cast that includes ex The Wanted star Max George and boxers Nicola Adams and Chris Eubank.

Scarlett said: “We weren’t expecting to get as much out of it as we did in the friendships that we’ve made. I’m not saying that it was all easy or plain sailing, but we all had each other.

“What was the scariest is if there was ever a moment of silence.

“That’s why we all got on so much because we just did not stop speaking because it feels extra lonely when you’re in the dark, when there’s nothing to see.”

“If you sign yourself up for something that crazy, you have to accept responsibility that you signed up for something that isa bit bonkers.

“Even though it was the weirdest holiday I’ve ever had, it sort of was like a holiday friendship.”

Scarlett also confessed “the hardest part” was not being too overfamillar with her fellow contestant and footballing legend Paul Gascoigne.

She said: “Everyone up north, if you support Newcastle United, you’ve got a story about Gazza or you’d know someone who has a story about Gazza, so that was actually the hardest part of that challenge – not going, ‘Gazza, it’s Scarlett!’”
