Take Me Out returns to our screens tonight, and among the men looking for love on the ITV dating show is Scarlett Moffatt’s ex.
Lee Wilkinson split from the former Gogglebox star last year, and makes no secret of who he used to date on the show.
During the opening episode of the new series, Lee references Scarlett’s victory on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! when he declares he is looking for his new ‘queen of the jungle’.
Speaking in a pre-recorded clip, Lee says “I’ve always done well with girls, my last girlfriend was pretty well known, former queen of the jungle Scarlett Moffatt.”
He the adds: ’We were together six months but it all got a bit too intense too quickly. Although it didn’t end well we are still friends. So come on girls, who wants to be my new queen of the jungle”.
During his appearance on the show, Lee also ropes in his identical twin brother Ryan – and it isn’t long until the pair are posing topless.
Lee continues: “Ladies if you go on a date with me you might end up seeing double. I’ve got an identical twin brother and we do everything together. Ryan and I our super competitive and I’m always trying to lift heavier than him in the gym.”

At this year’s TV Baftas, Scarlett appeared to have a dig at Lee as she gushed about her new boyfriend Scott Dobinson.
“My family like him which is a first,” she said. “And it’s nice not to be with someone who is a sociopath. I’m loving life.”
Scarlett has been dating the police constable since the end of last year, after meeting through a mutual friend in her hometown of Durham.
After the couple moved in together earlier this month, the 29-year-old reality star opened up about her new living situation, after previously admitting she’d always fallen for “pathological liars”.
“It’s so new we are still laughing and smiling about it,” she told The Mirror.
She also took to Instagram to rave about Scott as she shared a snap of her beau, writing: “To the man with the kindest eyes, heart and soul. Thank you for a year to remember. I keep getting asked is Scott [is] the one, but I daren’t respond in fear that I jinx it.”
