Scarlett was the craic, admitting to mistaking Uncle Ben of Uncle Ben’s rice fame for Nelson Mandela when auditioning for Gogglebox.

What?

"They showed us a picture of the Uncle Ben's rice guy... It was actually Nelson Mandela." Amazing. Loving @ScarlettMoffatt on #firstdates

Scarlett was set up with a Northern Irish man and MMA fighter, Tommy Quinn from Derry

He was a bit swoonworthy.

Everyone agreed his accent was on point

I think this may be the first time I've found the Northern Irish accent sound even remotely attractive on TV #firstdates

He was a bit TOO chatty, and that’s some feat when your date is Scarlett Moffatt.
