Scarlett Moffatt lands conspiracy theory podcast

Scarlett Moffatt has landed her own conspiracy theory podcast on BBC Radio 1.
The former ‘Gogglebox’ star and her police constable boyfriend Scott Dobinson will be debating "everything from aliens to the Illuminati to mermaids" as the 30-year-old Geordie tries to convince her "non-beleiver" partner that some of the conspiracies could be real.
Scarlett – who was crowned Queen of the Jungle on ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ in 2016 – teased that she and beau get in some "fun debates" on the podcast.
She told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre TV column: "I’m obsessed with conspiracies.
"I’m in my element on this podcast as we cover everything from aliens to the Illuminati to mermaids.
"My boyfriend Scott is a non-believer so there’s some fun arguments – sorry, debates."
The couple have been an item since last year and now live together in County Durham.
A source said: "The pair met through a mutual friend and hit it off straight away.
"And he’s got a decent job being a police officer in Durham near where she lives."
Meanwhile, the podcast announcement comes after it was confirmed that ‘British Tribe Next Door’ is to return – without Scarlett.
The programme – which saw the reality star and her family live in a replica of their County Durham home in a Namibian village in rural Africa – sparked huge debate and complaints of cultural insensitivity and racism last year, but producers are keen to capitalise on how much the show was talked about and make a second series.
However, they are on the hunt for a new famous family to take part later this year as Scarlett doesn’t want to do it again.
A source claimed: "The programme inspired debate among viewers about whether it was patronising and exploitative or an interesting test of what happens when different cultures combine.
"So producers were keen to repeat it.
"But with Scarlett ruling herself out, they are looking for another celebrity family who could take part."
