Scarlett Moffatt lands BBC driving show - despite failing test 13 times
ok.co.ukTV star and presenter Scarlett Moffatt is set to take the wheel of brand new BBC series Driving School. The former Gogglebox star will host the brand new show that sees learner drivers, who have been taught by their family in the pandemic because they were unable to have professional lessons.
And it seems the 31 year old is well-placed to host the programme, as she also struggled with getting her licence - and actually failed her test a total of 13 times.
On the show, each new hopeful learner will take an intensive driving course with some of the top driving instructions in the UK to try and pass their test after just five days of lessons.
