Scarlett Moffatt has 'mini Coachella' at County Durham home with cocktail bar and outdoor nightclub

Scarlett Moffatt brought America to County Durham on Saturday when she threw her own version of the Coachella festival to celebrate turning 31.

After having a scaled down 30th last year due to coronavirus restrictions, the former Gogglebox star and I'm A Celebrity winner went all out for her latest birthday, with an epic party attended by friends and family.

The bash, which was blessed with good weather, saw the back garden of Scarlett and boyfriend Scott Dobison 's luxurious new house turned into the 'Scarchella' festival ground adorned with a firepit, huge marquee, outdoor bouncy castle nightclub, a cocktail bar - full of custom made creations for the occasion - food trucks, a toilet bus and fire breathers who kept guests entertained.

Those in attendance were given a soundtrack from performers like singer Sam Atkinson and saxophonist Wayne, who Scarlett declared had everyone feeling "like they were in Ibiza," as well as their very own silent disco.

County Durham native Scarlett, who looked very much the part in a sparkly green outfit and a face full of glitter, shared a snapshot of what looked like a day and night to remember on her Instagram grid.

Next to the highlights video she wrote: "It’s my birthday.

"I missed out on my 30th like a lot of people because of Covid so I’m grateful I made up for it on my 31st.

"Thank you to everybody who came and made it so special."

A croaky voiced Scarlett took to her Instagram story on Sunday, with glitter still on her face, to reflect on what an amazing day she'd had, before turning the camera on the many presents she'd received and was still to open.

Reacting to her Instagram post, fellow I'm A Celebrity champion Vicky Pattison commented: "Unreal," while one fan responded: "Looks so good!!

"Happy birthday Scarlett."

A third told her: "Omg looks amazing both my 40th & 41st have been in lockdown so I definitely need a 40+2 next yr"

Scarlett appeared on Lorraine last month via video call and told the show's famous host that she was working on a 'secret project.'
