Scarlett Moffatt has revealed that she “put on weight on purpose” to discourage fans from buying her fitness DVD.
In 2018, the former Gogglebox star released a workout DVD after shedding three stone by following a gruelling 700 calorie per-day diet.
After going from a size 18 to a size 8, Scarlett revealed she faced trolling after putting on weight following the release of the DVD.

Speaking to Frankie Bridge on her Open Mind podcast, the 30-year-old branded the decision to release a DVD as the “worst thing she’s ever done”.
“I slowly realised it was quite detrimental to my mental health,” she explained.
“I’ve also deleted all my before and after pictures…Not only were they bad for my peace of mind it wasn’t really good for other people because now I look like my before picture again.”

Scarlett added: “I sort of rebelled against the DVD because I just didn’t like how it happened and I just wasn’t for it anymore.
“I purposefully started putting weight on. I was sort of like, ‘if I get big again it can’t get brought up’. I can’t have this stigma attached to me about this DVD and people will stop buying it.”
Scarlett went on to reveal that she did actually follow the diet on the DVD, saying she “cut out a lot” to shed weight.

The I’m A Celebrity winner said: “I think people thought I had been walking and rambling up mountains for six months but it wasn’t, I genuinely did just do those exercise [in the DVD] but obviously I had to cut out a lot of food from what I was normally eating.
“I think now that is what I want to try to say to people – ‘please don’t think that you can just own this DVD and then instantly you can lose that amount of weight, it is a lot of pressure and it is a lot of work’.”
But Scarlett is now loving embracing her figure, telling listeners: “I wore a swimsuit in a waterpark, which I know doesn’t sound like a massive step…
“But for me that was massive, especially in front of my boyfriend, because normally I would wear cover ups and kaftans and short and T-shirt.”
