Scarlett Moffatt boards Saturday Night Takeaway ‘party plane’ with a McDonald’s after boyfriend Lee Wilkinson finds his passport at the last minute
SCARLETT Moffatt's boyfriend Lee Wilkinson was all smiles at Gatwick airport after revealing he'd forgotten his passport just hours before the pair were due to fly to Florida for the Saturday Night Takeaway finale.
The personal trainer beamed as he headed to take his place on the plane with 27-year-old Scarlett after being reunited with the precious document.

The fitness model confirmed he'd been reunited with his passport in the early hours of this morning and told his fans on Instagram: "The passport has made it from Durham to London by train now time to chill ready for Florida tomorrow!!!"
Scarlett looked in great spirits as arrived at the departures lounge with Lee.
The pair even stopped off by a local McDonald's to pick up an early morning treat before boarding the plane.
Scarlett wrapped up warm in a cosy, cream coat for their early morning arrival.

Scarlett took to Instagram yesterday to tell her fans how Lee had made the major passport mistake ahead of their trip across the pond.
She said: "So we fly to Florida tomorrow and what is the one thing you've forgot?"
As she turned the camera on Lee, he gave an embarrassed smile and looked away as Scarlett repeatedly asked him: "What have you forgot? Just tell everyone what you've forgot?"

As Lee remained tight lipped and bashful, Scarlett added: "Begins with a P, ends with T. Passport."
Surprisingly, the pair didn't seem too concerned by the fact Lee didn't have his important travel documents just hours before they jetted off to Florida for the grand finale of the ITV show.

Scarlett's post came just hours after the show's host, Declan Donnelly, was pictured leaving his West London home to fly over to Orlando.
Dec was all-smiles as he left home to head to the airport where he will fly to America by himself after presenting Saturday's episode alone for the first time in his 29 year career.

The star will also host the spectacular finale on his own after his co-host and best friend, Ant McPartlin, returned to rehab following his drink-drive arrest last month.
After Saturday's show, Dec admitted he'd barely slept the night before because of his nerves, but got a standing ovation from the studio audience as he first walked onto set.

His solo efforts didn’t go unnoticed and a peak of 8.3million viewers tuned in to see how he got on.
Although he didn’t mention Ant’s name, Dec made a couple of jokey comments about his absence and at the end of the show thanked viewers for their support.
Ant did make an appearance in the programme, but it was only in a pre-recorded skit he had filmed with Dec before his arrest.
Dec was joined on the show by Scarlett, Stephen Mulhern and Davina McCall.
The show also featured an appearance by Stephen Merchant as guest announcer, who congratulated Dec on his baby news after it was revealed his wife Ali is expecting their first child.

Dec received an outpouring of support from both fans and his famous friends, with pals including Amanda Holden getting behind him and sending sweet messages.
After this solo turn, fans have since backed Dec to continue hosting the rest of his shows without Ant, who has bowed out of both Britain's Got Talent and I'm A Celebrity.
Ant was charged with drink-driving following a collision on March 18, and is expected to appear in court on April 4.
Last week’s episode of Takeaway was pulled from the air as a result, and fans took the opportunity to share their favourite clips from the show in its absence as ITV1 aired The Voice in its place.
However, Dec and the production team decided to complete the show’s run and air the remaining two episodes.
