‘Streetmate’ was presented by Davina Mccall and first aired in 1998, running for three series on Channel 4. The format would see McCall find one eligible singleton on the street and then help them approach potential love matches.

Speaking to The Mirror, Scarlett said: “I can’t believe Channel 4 have asked me to present this iconic show. “I remember watching Davina on Streetmate when I was younger and thinking females can present entertainment shows too.
“It’s such a fun show and it’s two of my favourite things to do, chat to randomers and a love story.” Scarlett is also said to be co-presenting a pilot show for a possible new series with comedian Alan Carr.
