Scarlett has a very close relationship with both dad Mark and mum Betty. The trio appeared together on the Channel 4 reality show Gogglebox, and Scarlett's parents were her biggest supporters during her stint on I'm A Celeb in December. They jetted to Australia to cheer her on in the competition, and ahead of the final, spoke of their pride at watching their daughter in the show.

"I told her we'd never been friends and that she'd been a bully who had destroyed my confidence and ruined my time at school. I told her I hoped her two daughters would never go through what I'd gone through, or have to deal with anyone like her. I put down my basket, walked out of there. And I felt like cheering."
