The brunette beauty - who first shot to fame on MTV's Beauty School Cop Out - admitted that their sage advice has meant the world to her as she carves out a career in presenting, adding that because of their support she's evolved as a person.  

'They are so amazing,' she gushed. 'They're genuinely amazing people. They give me the best advice and are always there if I need them. The best advice they've ever given me is to be me. I don't think they knew how much that meant to me.'

Continuing: 'I think it was the first episode and the fact that they came to me, it's a huge show to ad lib live on TV that gave me so much confidence. 

'And the fact they tell me all the time to "Keep being you", that filled me with confidence and I feel like I'm a completely different person to last year.

'I know I am going into this series with so much more confidence,' she added. 'I'm really excited, they're, in my opinion, the best in the business.'  

Her comments come days after the Gogglebox star sent her fans into a frenzy when she shared an intimate bedroom selfie which revealed a framed picture of her cuddled up to the funnyman and his best friend and their shared co-star Declan.

The reality star hoped to court attention with her very busty display but followers were much more interested in her cosy snap in the background which was a snap of the presenting duo and herself dressed as Mary Poppins. 

'Look a picture of Scarlett and Ant in the background,' one fan wrote, leading the way on her social media post. Others remarked, 'If this is with Ant' as well as 'Ant be on the prowl tonight' (sic). 

'Nice picture of Ant on your bedside!' Scarlett sent fans wild with a busty selfie as followers noticed framed image of Ant, 42, following THOSE dating predictions

But Scarlett tried to dispel any rumours of romance when she revealed the picture was of her, Ant and Dec, although Dec seems to be partially cropped from the photo. 

Ant recently announced his divorce from wife Lisa Armstrong last month, following a difficult 12 months after being rehabilitated for drug addiction following a painful knee injury.  

The Northern beauty - who is dating Lee Wilkinson - addressed the comments when she wrote the snap was 'of Ant and Dec and me dressed as Mary Poppin' for last season's Saturday Night takeaway and told MailOnline that moment was a 'career highlight'.  

'I got to be Mary Poppins in the finale of Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway last year,' she recalled. 'That was in Disney World in Florida and it was a dream come true to dance in the parade with all the other Disney characters.

'At the very end when we did our final bit, there was Ant, Dec and Cat Deeley on the stage because she was the one who stole the Crown Jewels. That was an overwhelming moment as I grew up watching SMTV:LIVE. 

'And when I watching things like Chums and Wonkey Donkey on SMTV, I never really imagined I would be stood with them so that has to be the highlight so far.' 

Despite dating predictions, Scarlett's firm friendship with Ant as well as Dec is no secret in the showbiz circuit.
