Scarlett Moffatt Wants to Believe: A BBC Radio Show

Gogglebox star Scarlett Moffatt attempts to uncover the truth about conspiracy theories - and win over her non-believer boyfriend Scott

'Moffatt and Dobinson are delightful' The Guardian

Scarlett Moffatt is obsessed by the unsolved and the unexplained. But her boyfriend Scott Dobinson is more sceptical, preferring facts and evidence to her bizarre conspiracy theories. Can she persuade him to keep an open mind - or even come around to her way of thinking?

Crowned 'Queen of the Jungle' in series 16 of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, Scarlett knows all about tough challenges. But now she's facing her greatest one yet - convincing Scott that the weird and wonderful theories could, just possibly, be true... From the Bermuda Triangle to mermaids and the moon landing, she puts her favourite conspiracies out there for Scott to debunk. Did a UFO crash-land in Roswell? What's lurking beneath the surface of Loch Ness? Are celebrity clones walking among us? And is Prince Charles actually a vampire?

Scarlett gets some backup from her friends (or, as Scott puts it, gang up on him). She chats to This Country star Daisy May Cooper about whether the pyramids were built by time travellers, seeks illumination about the Illuminati with actor and DJ Dev, and speculates with Joe Swash (EastEnders, Dancing on Ice) about whether our phones are spying on us. She also quizzes social media superstar Arron Crascall about The Mandela Effect, a phenomenon that gives the world false memories, and uncovers the secrets behind beloved films and children's TV with stand-up comedian Helen Bauer. But will they get behind #TeamScarlett or defect to #TeamScott - and what side are you on?

Whether you're a believer like Scarlett or a cynic like Scott, you'll love their daft banter, affectionate bickering and light-hearted debates as they try to sift the truth from the myths in these lively, hilarious shows.
