There are many things to luuuuurve about this year's series of I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! – Joel's abs, LARRY LAMB, Carol Vorderman and Joel's flirting and Joel's abs – and our gal Scarlett Moffatt is up there with one of them.

There is literally nothing not to love about her.

As you'll probably be aware, Scarlett is currently super loved up and adorbs with boyfriend Luke Crodden, but she revealed in her book that before they met she had some terrible first dates.

In Scarlett Says, she tells the story of "this lad who’s played rugby for England, so he’s a bit of a celeb round our way" who took her to KFC – but she didn’t ever confirm who he was.

Now, heat can reveal that it’s actually Yorkshire Carnegie player Alex Gray, who’s 25, grew up near Scarlett’s hometown of Bishop Auckland in County Durham and has probably upped his dating game a lot since he failed to impress Scarlett all those years ago.

"I used to date him in school and one night when we were out he asked me if he could take me for food the following week," she said. "I got dressed up thinking we were going to a restaurant, and he took me to the KFC drive-through. He actually asked me if I wanted to sit in or eat in the car. That was the extent of the romance.

"Not surprisingly I turned down his offer of a second date and he texted me a while later saying, 'I can see where I went wrong now.' Which bit? When I had to sit in the car eating beans with a plastic fork? Or when you made me listen to the radio while I ate my chips as we drove off?"
