Scarlett from Gogglebox always says it like it is...
Here at GLAMOUR, Scarlett from Gogglebox is one of our favourite people off the telly. Seriously: Friday nights just aren't the same without her TV commentary on the much-loved Channel 4 show.
The TV star - and Capital Radio presenter - is best known for her quick-wit and her hilarious put-downs (she always says it like it is!), so for that reason we decided to ask Scarlett if she wanted to voice her opinion on some of the world's biggest news stories. From celebrity Insta-pics to the water-cooler talking points, Scarlett gives her honest opinion about it all.

Rex Features/Getty Images/AlamyWey Aye! Beyonce’s tour is coming to the North East
Sweet dreams do come true, us north easterners mustn’t have been naughty girls as the legend who runs the world, who we are all crazy in love with, is coming to the STADIUM OF LIGHT!
Ahhhhh Queen Bee we salute you. Sunderland AFC’s commercial director, Gary Hutchinson, said we can’t wait to welcome her to the city and the stadium.” CORRECT Gary we cannit wait & I’d be more than happy to help her fit reet in. First of all I’d take her to the Metrocentre so she can get herself a new outfit for the big show, then off to best kebab for a parmo (extra doner meat, loads of garlic sauce obv) to line her stomach and after the event of the century I’d take her to the toon, three trebles for a fiver; one for me, queen bee and of course we cannit leave Jay Z out!
BBCBody like bay watch… face like crimewatch
We all have a doppelganger, I often get mistaken for the lovely Jesy from Little Mix which is a massive compliment… however for this poor sod on Crimewatch he wasn’t so happy with his doppelganger. He could swap heads with the crime suspect in the mugshot. I mean if I was the producer on Crimewatch I would be thinking the presenter had a lot of explaining to do after the show. He ended up warning the British public to stay well away from a man… who.. well.. looked exactly like him!
Rex FeaturesValentine’s Day
I’m such a romantic, I think real life is like a Disney film which is the reason why normally I go for men who look like my Disney loves - Hercules, Gaston, Prince Charming… Unfortunately they do not end happily ever after as I get with proper cranks. Players, liars or serial daters. So in the hope I can join in on the endless statuses on Facebook of “boy did good”, Michael Kors watches, pics of candlelit dinners and "I heart my Bae", I went dating in the dark (I'll give owt a go, me). I dated in the pitch black so I wasn’t distracted by a face that was carved by angels and abs you can grate cheese on. See how I got on here.
Splash NewsFifty shades of Grey Street NE1
So once again the North East has hit headlines… no it’s not about Scotty T winning CBB, or rumours of wor Cheryl finding a new fella…. NORTH EAST HAS BEEN NAMED THE UK'S HORNIEST REGION. Geordie phwoar!!
We also have the most enticing accent, wey aye pet… trouble is we’ve also “won” the title of laziest people in the UK. So no one’s carrying out the raunchy acts because we all can’t be arsed and we may have the sexiest accent, trouble is the shit that comes out of it is normally, “Ere can I have extra garlic on that kebab?" or "Why is Greggs shut, man? I need a sausage roll to cure this mingin hangover.”
Rex FeaturesBiebers top knot
He changes his hair like he changes his women. Bieber has now sprouted his very own man bun and went from a 9.8 to a solid 10. Now he can do sexy wet hair flicks Baywatch style, plus imagine being his girlfriend – not only can you stare at him all day in his Calvin Kleins, he can serenade you, win any dance off… and you can now borrow his bobbles, kirby grips and hairspray… perfect boyfriend, and in my opinion he looks like a sexy pirate.
Rex FeaturesPlastic fantastic
I mean first I started getting hair envy from the mannequins in River Island, now there are two bloody wax figures that are fitter than me! FML! You know there’s something wrong in the world when you’re taking make up tips from a man-made object. But hey, even so, eyebrows are on fleek, girls.
hijarbie/InstagramCindy, who?!
As a little girl Barbie was #girlgoals. Not the being plastic part and walking only on your tippy toes but the woman had so many career aspirations. I had Astronaut Barbie, Fire Fighter Barbie, Computer Engineer Barbie and my fave, News Anchor Barbie. So why not have Hijarbie? YOU GO GIRL!
BBCAidan Turner Phwoarrr
Well done GLAMOUR on crowning this beauty as your Sexiest Man of The Year. Phwoar!
Now, on Gogglebox when we first started watching Poldark my first reaction was, 'what is this shite?' Then that magical moment happened... Mr Aidan Turner cutting grass in the meadow.. Topless! That man does not sweat, he glistens. His arse looks like two eggs in a hanky and you could grate cheese on those abs! Funnily enough it suddenly became my fave programme after that.
Rex FeaturesKinky Kylie
OMG totes my fave Kardashian! In my opinion she shits all over Kim Kardashian. She is slowly taking over the world one selfie at a time. If I had a body like that I would wear red PVC for bed. Even if you're not her biggest fan, you've got to admit she's a foxy little modern-day Jessica Rabbit in this number.
Rihanna/InstagramWhile I'm at work work work work
So I started my new job on the breakfast show, up in the North East on Capital, and I'm there grinding at 6am to the Barbadian princess' new tune, WORK!
Yep Rihanna is back. Where have you been lass? We've missed ya. And even though she mumbles some of the words like one of those kids on them YouTube videos trying to talk after they've been under a wad of anaesthetic when they've had their wisdom teeth taken out... It's still an absolute tune. If anyone can understand what she's saying though, please let me know! Anyway, keep it up bad girl RiRi.
Rex FeaturesHave a Break
The woman who complained to Kit Kat over a lack of wafer - what an absolute divvy! Would you dare show yourself up. I would hate to see this lass go through actual real life trauma when the fact her fuckin' Kit Kat didn't have enough wafer has caused stress and "emotional significance." The chocolate's the best bit, man. I once ordered six chicken nuggets from McDonald's and only got five, I didn't fucking ring Ronald McDonald and demand a life supply of McNuggets. Chill yourself out lass, have a cup of tea, Have a break, have a Kit... On second thoughts.
Kim Kardashian/InstagramWTF?!
I hope to God that the photo of Kim Kardashian and Amber Rose together is photoshopped because I'm not being funny, GIRL CODE!
How could you sit in the same room and be civil with a girl who said she's played with your man's A-hole? Hell no! The last thing I would do is be sitting having a cup of tea with them, I mean I know my mam always says a cup of tea can solve anything, but there's some things that Tetley's cannot solve!
prive_christina/InstagramPancake hair
Fuck Valentine's Day, it's all about Pancake Day in February for me. But for this new trend, no frying pan or treacle is needed, because it's a simple hair trend that in my opinion is very Disney princess! I love it, plus if like me you have proper sausage fingers and can't do those delicate braids... Pancaking is the way forward!
Schofe/InstagramHolly and the Silver Fox
I love these two so much, and the fact that they turned up to work bladdered, in last night's clothes, laughing about mysterious stains and showing us a drunken game of Pie Face, I now love them 100000% more! Utter legends... this is the reason I heart British TV so much.
Getty ImagesNTAs for the win
When I first started Gogglebox two years ago with my mam and dad, we never imagined people would have been that arsed about watching us watching TV! And yet here we are starting 2016 by winning an NTA (and we beat Top Gear - stick that in your car pipe and smoke it, Jeremy bloody Clarkson) GO GOGGLEBOX!
theMCSPCA/Getty ImagesStar paws: The Fur Awakens
I have crossed over to the dark side, and I seem to spend any spare time I have googling funny cat videos and photos. I came across this corker and I personally think Adam and this cat could swap heads. Which is a little unfortunate because to be totally honest, this is one of the fugliest cats I've ever seen in my whole entire life.
Layeredonline/InstagramUV’e got to be kidding
WTF is all this glow-in-the-dark hair dye craic all about. My instagram is blowing up with girls uploading photos of themselves looking like fibre optic illusions. No one wants their selfie to look like a bloody human lava lamp. I personally think this is another way for attention seekers to seek even more attention. I love a quirky hair do but no one wants to be a human torch.
skelotim/InstagramCrisps and make-up: LOVE
They do say you are what you eat and Tim O, a make-up artist from California, has morphed into his favourite snack, the crisp! I seriously need to meet this man, my two favourite things in the world - make-up and crisps - and he has managed to put them both together. What a LEGEND. Taking inspiration from packets of Cheetos and Ruffles, his contour is on fleek and his winged eyeliner is “crisp”. Normally I don't attempt these tutorials but I’m gonna attempt to copy his skills, although I don’t know how well it’s going to work when I’ve got a packet of Quavers and Space Raiders as my inspiration.
Bjorn Iooss/CRFashionbook/InstagramProm King
For us mere mortals, the only time I have ever seen a 16-year-old boy wear a tux is at the school prom - not when your mum is supermodel Cindy Crawford. Her son Presley has managed to land a shoot in the CR Fashion book but with half the genes of Cindy I can’t say I’m surprised. And at first glance of the photos I have to admit, I thought it was Justin Bieber... Well, a clean cut Disney style Bieber.
Justine Bieber/InstagramJustin Bieber's lilac locks
Seriously don't know how Bieber does it... he looks like he took hair tips from the folks at the old people's home and has somehow managed to make a purple rinse sexy! I do think this drastic hair change is his way of telling the world he is a secret BRONY ... "What do you mean...." A BRONY - aka a My Little Pony fan. What a wonderful place planet Earth would be if everyone walked around with purple manes, wanting love, harmony and the occasional trot.
It could happen... "Never say never".
Splash NewsGigi proved her love for Zayn
We all know there are certain rules you have to follow to show people just how seriously in love you are with your new boyf and Gigi Hadid has proved her love for Zayn by ticking them all off.
1. Have your boyf as your mobiles screensaver (just in case you forget how cute they are).
2. Post endless photos of each other on your Insta (to warn other girls away… back away, this boy is mine).
3. And of course it has to be Facebook official (otherwise it doesn’t count).
