Scarlett Moffatt has opened up about her second pregnancy — and revealed the surprisingly specific craving that has taken over this time around.
The former Gogglebox star and I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! winner is currently expecting her second child with fiancé Scott Dobinson, and while the couple are thrilled to be expanding their family, Scarlett has admitted the pregnancy came as a “huge shock”.
The 35-year-old announced the happy news last month in a sweet family post, showing off her baby scan alongside Scott and their one-year-old son Jude. The announcement instantly melted fans’ hearts, with followers rushing to congratulate the couple on their growing family. 💕
But now Scarlett has revealed that baby number two has already been a very different experience from her first pregnancy — from the symptoms to the cravings.
Speaking alongside Scott in a new interview with OK!, Scarlett explained that falling pregnant again was unexpected because it had taken the couple so long to conceive Jude. Last Christmas, she and Scott had spoken about how “wonderful” it would be to have another baby. Just weeks later, they discovered that dream was already becoming reality.
For Scarlett, the news was joyful — but still a complete surprise.
The TV personality admitted that her second pregnancy has been “a little bit more difficult” than her first. She revealed she has developed travel sickness and struggled with morning sickness during her first trimester, making the early weeks more challenging than she expected. 😢
And then came the craving.
When Scarlett was pregnant with Jude, her main obsession was Honeydew melon. This time, however, things have taken a much more savoury turn.
“This time around, it’s been cheese,” she said.
But not just any cheese.
Specifically, grated cheese.
Scott could not resist teasing her over the sudden change, revealing that in the 15 years he has known Scarlett, she would never normally ask for something as plain as a cheese sandwich. But during this pregnancy, she apparently turned to him and asked for exactly that.
“Can you just make me a cheese sandwich?” he recalled.
Scarlett immediately laughed it off, insisting: “That’s not me!”
Scott agreed, joking that a plain cheese sandwich is absolutely not her usual style. But pregnancy cravings clearly do not care about old habits, and this baby seems to have brought out a brand-new side of Scarlett’s appetite. 🧀
The revelation delighted fans, many of whom have followed Scarlett’s journey from reality TV favourite to proud mum. Her honesty about the less glamorous side of pregnancy — the sickness, the surprise, the strange cravings — has made her update feel especially relatable.
Scarlett has always been loved for her down-to-earth humour, and this latest confession was pure Scarlett: funny, honest and completely unfiltered.
Her pregnancy news has also sparked plenty of affection from supporters. Fans have flooded social media with kind messages, calling the couple a “beautiful family” and saying how happy they are to see Jude becoming a big brother. Others simply shared heart emojis and congratulations, clearly thrilled by the next chapter in Scarlett and Scott’s life together.
The couple already share son Jude, who was born in 2023, and Scarlett has often spoken lovingly about motherhood. Since welcoming him, she has shared glimpses of family life with fans, showing the joy, chaos and tenderness of raising a young child while balancing her public career.
Now, with another baby on the way, life in the Moffatt-Dobinson household is about to get even busier.
Scarlett recently showed off her growing bump at the ITV Showcase 2026 in London, wearing a low-cut cream dress as she stepped onto the red carpet. The appearance marked one of her first public outings since announcing the pregnancy, and fans were quick to praise her glowing look.
But behind the glam red-carpet photos, Scarlett’s latest comments show the real story: this pregnancy has come with exhaustion, sickness and unexpected food demands.
That is part of why fans connect with her. Scarlett does not pretend pregnancy is all glowing skin and perfect moments. She is happy to admit when things feel tough, surprising or slightly ridiculous. And for many parents, that honesty is refreshing.
The idea of craving grated cheese may sound funny, but pregnancy cravings are famously unpredictable. One pregnancy can bring a love of fruit, another can bring a sudden need for the plainest cheese sandwich imaginable. Scarlett’s shift from Honeydew melon to grated cheese has become a tiny but charming snapshot of how different each pregnancy can feel.
More importantly, Scarlett and Scott seem genuinely excited to welcome their second child. The baby may have been a shock, but it is clearly a very happy one. Their Christmas conversation about wanting another baby now feels almost prophetic — a quiet wish that came true sooner than expected.
For Scarlett, who has been open about the long road to having Jude, this new pregnancy carries extra emotion. After waiting so long for their first child, discovering another baby was on the way just weeks after discussing the possibility must have felt surreal.
Now, the couple are preparing for a new chapter as parents of two. Jude will become a big brother, their family will grow, and Scarlett will no doubt continue sharing the funny, messy and heartfelt moments along the way.
For now, though, one thing is clear: baby number two has already made their presence known.
Morning sickness, travel sickness and a very firm demand for grated cheese — Scarlett Moffatt’s second pregnancy may be more difficult, but it is also giving fans exactly the kind of honest, relatable updates they love her for. 🧀💛
