The two got together during the first few months of 2020, although they actually first met more than a decade ago when they starred alongside each other in the West End show Thriller Live in 2009.

Scarlette began dating The Voice star Lyndrik in early 2020

They made things Instagram official earlier this year in honour of Valentine's Day. Posting in full view of her 20.6k followers, Scarlette gushed: "It's Valentine's Day! Here's to my Quaran-tine @iamlyndrikxela. Those who sing together, live happily ever after.... right babe?!!!!! Love you to the fridge and back."

Lyndrik then sweetly commented: "Love you more than chocolate fudge cake babe."

Opening up about their relationship in a recent interview, Scarlette revealed that she's found jetting off to far-flung locations for the Channel 4 show trickier now that Lyndrik is in her life.

She told The Express: "We've been together since [the first] lockdown and we've known each other for years and but have now got together. But it's a bit tricky going away because I'm leaving him at home and he's doing his thing and I'm away. My hours can be crazy sometimes so I guess that's what's hard."
