SCARLETT Moffatt has revealed that her fiancé Scott Dobinson has quit his job as a policeman to be a stay-at-home dad.
The Gogglebox star, 35, got engaged to Scott, 37, in 2023, five months after they became parents to baby son Jude.
Scarlett has revealed that Scott has taken a two-year career hiatus to be with their son Jude, two, so she can continue her TV career.
The reality star has a host of projects she’s working on, including Strictly Come Dancing‘s Christmas Special and a Christmas pantomime.
She told The Daily Mail: “I feel really lucky because for the first two years that Jude was born, I decided to take two years off.
“So I was just in full-time mum mode, it was the best.
“And then when Jude turned two, I was like “okay, I need to go back into work now” so I can chat to adults, cause I missed that.
“And also, you know, this industry’s so difficult, I knew that if I took any longer people might be like, “oh, there’s that girl that used to sometimes be on the telly”.
“So then Scott, my partner, he’s wonderful, he’s now took a two-year career break from the police.
“So he’s now in full-time dad mode, which is lovely. We’re somehow managing because of that, and we’ve got great grandparents too.”
The I’m A Celeb star also explained that she has never employed a nanny to help out with her family.
She said: “I’ve never had a nanny and he’s never been to nursery, but it’s not because I think that those things are bad or anything.
“I think we’ve just been so lucky that I’ve either been at home or he’s with my mum and dad, or Scott’s mum and dad or Scott.
“People aren’t always in that privileged position where they live like 10 minutes away from all of the family.
“I think it’s a very northern thing that we all sort of still live in the same village and stuff, but I can understand why people have ties and things.”
In an interview with The Sun earlier this year Scarlett spoke about when she and Scott are planning to tie the knot.
Scarlett said: “I’d hoping to do it next year but maybe that’s too adventurous? It takes a lot to plan a wedding, but I’ve got this in the bag.”
Just a few years ago, Scarlett admitted that she initially had dreams of a huge Willy Wonka themed wedding, but has now decided to scale back her plans.
However, in an interview before getting engaged, she once said: “I’ve always, always wanted a massive wedding, now I keep saying: ‘Let’s go to Vegas.’”
But, not everyone is happy about Scarlett’s return to TV, as a new Strictly fix has ignited due to her taking part in this year’s Christmas special.
The popular TV star was the first celeb to be announced for this year’s festive special after years of being linked to the BBC show.
However, show insiders are angry at her for taking part because she was trained by Anton Du Beke as a child.
And it is alleged she is now the favourite to win the festive glitterball due to her vast dancing history.
A Strictly insider said: “Scarlett is a trained dancer, she is so good at it and spent much of her childhood doing ballroom and Latin dancing.
“Anton even helped her and now he will be judging her against others. It all feels very unfair.”
But, despite being an early favourite, Scarlett insists she hasn’t picked up where she left off all those years ago.
