I'm A Celebrity...South Africa's Scarlett Moffatt jokes copying parents’ 27-year wait to marry
I'm A Celebrity...South Africa star Scarlett Moffatt and her fiance Scott Dobinson got engaged in November 2023 and are in "no rush" to get married.
Scarlett Moffatt joked that her delayed wedding may be down to mirroring her parents' 27-year wait to marry to ensure they liked each other.
The I'm A Celebrity...South Africa star and policeman Scott Dobinson got engaged in November 2023, just months after they welcomed son Jude into the world, but over two years on, the couple are nowhere near ready to say "I do".
Scarlett, 35, told the new issue of Heat magazine: "I'm not stressed about it, and I think that's the problem. I got engaged three years ago. I think me and Scott are so laidback that nothing gets done.
"We need an intervention where someone comes in and physically books everything for us because we just keep going, 'We'll sort it next year.'"
The Gogglebox alum joked that she may have inherited her mum Betty and dad Mark's laidback attitude to marriage.
Scarlett continued: "I was a bridesmaid at my mum and dad's wedding, and they were together 27 years before they got married, just to check that they liked each other. Maybe there's a bit of that which comes into play."
But the Pilgrimage 2022 cast member teased she may finally walk down the aisle in 2030 - the same year as her milestone 40th birthday.
Scarlett said: "We're in no rush, but I've definitely said before I'm 40, ideally. But then you might ask us that question at 40, and I'll say 50."
In August 2025, the TV personality - who once wanted a "massive" wedding, be it a "Willy Wonka theme with centrepieces as sweets and munchkins as waiters" or a ceremony in Las Vegas - revealed she and Scott had made some progress with plans for their nuptials.
Scarlett told The Sun: "We’ve actually been to see a few venues.
"And I actually did book to go and try a wedding dress on, and Scott was like, 'But we haven’t booked a venue.' And I was like, 'Yeah, I know, but I just want to play dress up.'
"It’s the fun part! But yeah, we’ve got lists and lists of things to do, and it changes every day."
The Saturday Night Takeaway star even hoped to get married this year, but acknowledged that it was "too adventurous".
Scarlett added: "It takes a lot to plan a wedding, but I’ve got this in the bag."
