Scarlett is appearing on Pilgrimage on BBC2 on Friday nights. This is a series, if you don’t know, where a set of celebs/well known people of different religions, walk a pilgrimage. There have been several incarnations of the programme and she is in the latest one with Lawrence LBowen and Nick Hewer, plus a Sikh cricketer called Monty, an Emmerdale actress and a female stand up. Scarlett is quite religious. She found comfort in God when she was growing up. I have heard her say before on a podcast that she wasn’t popular at school and she was lonely, and just read a lot. I am not religious but I found the first one interesting. I find Scarlett to be very genuine, interested in other people, sensitive. She got emotional in the first episode due to the joking around of LLB and NH. I think she thought they were being disparaging about religion and playing up for the cameras. I would agree with her about those two. She has struck up a friendship with the cricketer.
I don’t think fame has changed her, except she lives in a nice house. I think she fully appreciates her good fortune. She looks fake with her orange tans and make up, but I think she uses it all to mask insecurities. There is more to her than meets the eye. The comment upthread about her asking someone to put her luggage up - she said on this programme she is 4 foot 11. I am a couple of inches taller than her, I struggle with overhead lockers and have asked for help before. It didn’t make me a diva, just a short arse with weak upper body strength.
