Scarlett Moffatt shows off her moves as she dances to the BBC News theme tune in hilarious video

Scarlett Moffatt was pining for life after lockdown as she danced along to the BBC News theme tune in a hilarious TikTok video.

The TV presenter, 30, joined the online trend of people showing off their dance moves to the programme’s opening theme. 

The former Gogglebox star looked in her element as she struck a series of playful poses in her room and told how she can’t wait for a ‘night out’. 

Alongside the clip, she wrote: ‘I dunno why but the news theme tune is my jam haha! Can’t wait for a night out now ha!’

Scarlett cut a casual figure in the clip as she donned a blue and navy striped top which she paired with black tracksuit bottoms.

The former I’m A Celebrity winner completed her look by letting her brunette locks fall loose down her shoulders.  

It comes after Scarlett was recently overcome with emotion at the thought of hugging her grandparents after Boris Johnson unveiled his lockdown exit strategy on Monday.

She broke down in tears at the thought of seeing her friends and family at ‘some point this year’ saying she ‘cannot express’ how much she has missed them. 

‘I’ve set off again crying because I’ve been reading all your DMs to us and I thought I was the only person feeling like this,’ she said.

‘It’s so nice thinking how everyone is getting excited and I know we don’t have definite dates but to know its some point this year.

‘Like I know I’m going to be able to hug my Nanny and Pappy. I’m going to be able to see my friends. I cannot express how much I missed my friends.’

The Northern-born TV star said it was the ‘little things’ that she was most excited for and insisted that she was not going to take anything for granted.

Scarlett continued: ‘Honestly I’m never going to take anything for granted again. I think we’re all guilty of taking things for granted.

‘Just the fact we can go out, hug our friends, go for food like. It’s the little things I’m excited for I just can’t wait. I can’t bloody wait.’

Scarlett, who has a 14-year-old sister, Ava-Grace, said: ‘I’m not going to lie, I’ve cried more about the fact that my little sister can go back to school than I have about nightclubs opening this year.

‘I can’t express in words how happy I am for all the kids. I’ve seen how hard it is for kids, you know for their mental health for their education for the social aspect.’

On Monday, Prime Minister Boris Johnson unveiled his ‘cautious’ lockdown exit strategy which could see life in England return to something close to normal by June at the earliest.

Mr Johnson’s plan for easing restrictions will be split into four separate steps and will see the country treated as a whole, with no return to a tier system.

The loosening of England’s third national lockdown, imposed amid a winter outbreak of coronavirus in January, will begin on March 8 when all schools across the country will return.

Rules are then due to be lifted every five weeks to allow four weeks to measure the impact of changes and to give a further week’s notice before the next step comes into force.

Outdoor gatherings of up to six people – the Rule of Six – or two households will be allowed from March 29 and non-essential shops, hairdressers and barbers will be allowed to return on April 12 ‘at the earliest’, the PM said.

Two households can meet indoors from May 17, with a view to returning to normality from June 21.

However, the Government has stressed that the dates set out in the roadmap are ‘not before dates’ and that they could change depending on the scale of the coronavirus outbreak.
