Scarlett Moffatt
Scarlett Moffatt is a presenter and TV personality known for her hilarious quick-wit and Northern charm. She shot to fame after appearing on Gogglebox alongside her family in 2014, and was later crowned Queen of the Jungle on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here in 2016, which solidified her place on British screens.
Her warmth and bubbly personality have led Scarlett to land her several presenting roles including Saturday Night Takeaway (ITV), two series of Extra Camp (ITV2) and as the regular team captain on Celebability (ITV2). Her success in these roles led her to take on Davina McCall’s previous position as host of dating show Streetmate and to work alongside Dermot O’Leary at the National Television Awards.
City Central at The HAC
A drinks reception will start at 4pm followed by a 3-course meal and the awards ceremony finishing by 10pm.
Set within the secure grounds of the Honourable Artillery Company, and against the stunning backdrop of the historic Armoury House and buildings, this iconic venue will set us up for an unbelievable evening.
The venue has its own private entrance off Chiswell Street, London, EC1Y 4TW.
Moorgate is the nearest underground station and is a very short walk from the venue. Moorgate is served by the Northern, Metropolitan, Hammersmith and City and Circle lines. Exit the station on to City Road and head towards Finsbury Square and Old Street. At the crossroads turn left on to Chiswell Street and on the right, there is a short road called Finsbury Street. At the end of that road, you will see the entrance to the venue. Taxis should drop guests off on Chiswell Street and then guests can walk down Finsbury Street to the venue entrance.
