What is Scarlett Moffatt’s SuperSlim diet, what foods are included and what’s she said about weight loss?
SCARLETT Moffatt was the celebrity success story of 2016.
The Gogglebox star not only won I'm a Celebrity and was crowned Queen of the Jungle - she also completely transformed her body.
Scarlett, now 27, was almost unrecognisable after slimming down last year.
But she faces controversy over claims the DVD was a sham and her weight loss not sustainable, as it was the result of a crash diet and boot camp.
Here we tell you everything you need to know about the SuperSlim diet she credited with her success.
What is the SuperSlim diet?
In January last year, Scarlett exclusively gave The Sun's Fabulous magazine an insight into the diet she claimed to have followed.
Scarlett said she followed the SuperSlim plan, limiting herself to 1,350 calories a day to shed the pounds.
Dieters chose one approved breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack option every day.
They can also drink 300ml of skimmed milk, or eat two small pots of fat-free yoghurt.
The breakfasts are all 250cals each, lunches 350cals, dinners 450cals and snacks 200cals.
By eating less than the recommended daily 2,000cals, for women, dieters can lose weight quickly - especially when combining their diet with exercise.
SuperSlim's tagline is 'diets designed with the whole family in mind'.
There are support clubs throughout the Midlands and the West, in Birmingham North, Dudley, Halesowen, Oldbury, Stourbridge, Wednesbury, Wolverhampton and Gloucester.
How much weight did Scarlett lose?
Jungle Queen Scarlett shed three stone and dropped five dress sizes in just six months.
Her weight plummeted from 11st 5lbs to 8st, allowing Scarlett to swap from a size 18 to size 8 dress size.
Scarlett also went down six bra cup sizes, taking her from a J to a DD, shed 11 inches from her waist.
She said she followed the SuperSlim plan, and claimed to have ditched the booze and takeaways as well as hitting the gym regularly to overhaul her body.
In light of her transformation she released a fitness DVD, the SuperSlim Me Plan DVD, which has sold 60,000 copies since its release on Boxing Day 2016.
Scarlett is not the only one who got in shape in 2016. From Lisa Riley to Holly Hagan, these celebs all lost an impressive amount of weight.
The former Gogglebox star previously told Heat magazine: “I’ve lost 3st 4lb, and that’s roughly what my three-year-old cousin Noah weighs.
“It’s like I’ve been piggy backing Noah for years and I’ve just dropped him off at school.”
She said she sprang into action when a doctor told Scarlett she was 'obese', and had an unhealthy BMI of 31.
What's she said about weight loss?
In light of the recent controversy surrounding her fitness DVD, Scarlett has now said she was “miserable” when slim.
The TV personality spoke at a body confidence seminar, giving an hour-long talk at the hour-long talk at the Glamour Beauty Festival in London.
She is reported to have said: “When I first came out of the jungle I went through a stage where I felt like I had to try and look a certain way.
“I wanted to try and get out of the stereotypical Geordie girl.
"I stopped wearing fake tan and wore WAG dresses.
"But I was really miserable. I like being orange and having eyelashes that go up to my forehead.”

Is the plan safe?
The meals are all balanced, providing the dieter with a healthy mix of fruit, vegetables, protein and some carbs.
Sticking to a strict diet of 1,500 or less cals-a-day is thought to help the dieter steadily lose one to two pounds a week.
Eating less than 1,500cals for men and 1,200cals for women is not recommended, because it puts your body into starvation mode and slows your metabolic rate.
Scarlett's reported intake of 1,350cals a day could be too low for some people but, as a 5ft 0.5in woman, it was said to be safe.
