Being Shy at School Scarlett's confidence First Dates

Poll

Are you self-confident when you walk through the... school gates in the morning?

Scarlett Moffatt might ooze self-confident when she's commenting on the week's viewings with her mum and dad on Gogglebox, but the truth of the matter is, she wasn't always so chirpy and talkative.

In this segment of Celebrity First Dates, Scarlett and her date discuss their struggles with self-confidence back in their school days. Scarlett was an extremely shy teenager, which may have made her an easier target for bullies. Her teachers would even let her our of class early in order to avoid getting picked on. Her date on the other hand, overcame a much more visible transformation. He transformed from being 17-stone at 17-years-old to a fit and healthy body weight now.

With Scarlett now older and wiser (well, apart from confusing Nelson Mandela with Uncle Ben!) she's got a unique outlook on life - to be happy you've got to wake up and look forward to what you're doing. In her own words 'it’s took us so long to just be me…if you don’t like us, it’s your loss because I am a nice person.' Well said.
