Scarlett Moffatt shares swimsuit snap of  herself ‘when people didn’t know she was at her lowest’

Scarlett Moffatt has shared a throwback photo of herself showing off her slender figure, saying it was taken when people didn’t know she was ‘at her lowest’.

The star took part in a Q&A with her followers on Instagram and shared the snap of herself in a black swimsuit with a cut out at the sides. 

The TV presenter, 30, also admitted in another post that she and her boyfriend Scott Dobinson have ‘put a bit of timber on’ since they first began dating two years ago.

Writing to fans, Scarlett wrote: ‘Let me know what you’d like me to post a pic of,’ to which a fan replied: ‘When people didn’t know you [were] at your lowest’ [sic]. 

Scarlett then posted the swimsuit shot of herself as she posed for a mirror selfie while showing off her noticeably slender frame.

In a more upbeat post, Scarlett posted a loved-up snap of her and Scott after a fan asked her to share the first picture they ever took together.

Alongside the snap, she wrote: ‘We’ve put some timber on since this like @scottdobby’. 

It comes after Scarlett joked about putting on weight over lockdown 2.0 on Instagram on Monday.

The television personality put on a confident display as she posed in a pink tracksuit and said her curves have been ‘enhanced’ by government restrictions amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Scarlett teamed the blush pink two piece with a gold chain necklace and wore her long raven locks in soft curls.

She captioned the snap: ‘My beautiful friends at @jyylondon. Helping me show off my curves that have enhanced by lockdown 2.0.’ 

Scarlett has been candid about her weight and admitted earlier this year that she had purposefully put on weight’ to discourage fans from buying her fitness DVD, following its release.

Back in 2018, it was claimed the former Gogglebox star had lost three stone as a result of a strict bootcamp regime and 700 calorie a day diet, rather than through the gruelling exercise sessions documented in her fitness DVD.

Scarlett had slimmed down from a size 18 to size 8, but revealed in interview on Frankie Bridge’s Open Mind Podcast, that she deliberately put on weight because she no longer wanted the stigma the controversial DVD brought with it attached to her. 

The star recently revealed that she’s had abnormal cells removed from her cervix after having her latest smear test.

The Gogglebox star candidly detailed how she had a Lletz treatment, saying she was ‘anxious’ and ‘scared’ before the procedure as she didn’t know what to expect.

Taking to Instagram on Monday, Scarlett said that she wished she hadn’t worried as it was over quickly and encouraged other women not to be concerned about having a ‘smear or for any follow up treatment’ as it could ‘literally save your life’.

Explaining that she wants to use social media for good and put some information out there about the procedure, Scarlett started explaining what had happened.

Speaking about abnormal cells, she said: ‘They can be easily treated if they’re caught quickly but if they’re not and you leave your smear tests, then it can be devastating and can literally be life or death.

‘I know that sounds really horrific and I’m not saying that to scare you. I’m saying that to show you how this tiny procedure, which lasts no longer than five to 10 minutes – normally five minutes – can literally save your life.’
