Former Gogglebox star and Queen of the Jungle Scarlett Moffatt is to host a new BBC One series called 'Driving School'.

Scarlett has infamously failed her driving test not once, but thirteen times.

The show will feature people who have also fallen foul of driving tests.

Now their family members, spouses and closest friends are helping them. It’s testing their relationships just as much as the learner’s driving skills.

Scarlett will welcome the drivers to a five-day driving school in Teesside.

A learner driver and their long suffering family member or friend will be helped by some of the UK’s top professional driving instructors.

Can the duos work together to pass their test after just five days at the school?

Scarlett said: "I know exactly how these learners feel and how much strain it puts on the person teaching you – no one will get in a car with me any more. I hope that my new show will give us all the confidence to finally rip up those L plates and hit the road."

Aisling O'Connor, Head of TV Commissioning for BBC England, says: “Scarlett is the perfect person for BBC England to work with, as we do our job of reflecting the people and places that matter to our audiences up and down the country.

“This new series examines an experience many people go through, and viewers will see learner drivers put their skills to the absolute test in the hope of passing the five-day intensive course. I’m delighted to be working with Frieda. TV and BBC Factual on this exciting proposition for the audience.”
