Scarlett Moffatt’s viewers were surprised when she teamed up with celebrities to sing in an opera performance on live television during this evening’s comic relief. The Gogglebox star appeared alongside Rosie Jones, Helen George, Tamzin Outhwaite and Nina Wadia in the performance.
They had 24 hours to rehearse before performing a medley of three arias from the opera Carmen at the London Coliseum this Red Nose Day. Scarlett burst into tears as she addressed the audience.
Speaking before the live performance, Scarlett said: “Being asked to participate in the Comic Opera among the rest of these ingenious ladies is incredibly exciting. I’m so scared but very open to the challenge because I’m a long time fan of Red Nose Day , and doing comic relief work is just so important, so I really hope this helps people donate, donate, donate.
After speaking with presenter Sara Cox after the performance, the 31-year-old said she watched comic relief as a child and being part of the show is “amazing.” She added: “Everyone is born to know comic relief.”

Speaking on her Instagram account before the show, she told fans it was out of her comfort zone, adding: “I’m not a professional singer, I’ve never had a singing lesson, no matter what the opera.” People train Opera for like years, sometimes decades and we don’t even get 24 hours, it’s crazy. I do not regret, however, that I signed up, I think it will be amazing.
Spectators took to Twitter to share their admiration for the group, with one person saying, “They all have amazingly well-sung opera and what an inspiring woman Rosie Jones is. I love her so much!”
Another said, “Well, those girls had some balls to sing opera! Helen George was especially great.” One fan wrote: “That was awful … 24 hours to learn it !! They destroyed it.” Another admiring spectator said, “Say what you will. These women are beautiful and have really good singing voices!”

A viewer said she was left out of the performance in tears, writing, “Huge congratulations to Comic Opera 5 on #comicrelief. Fantastic effort from you all. I’m in tears, and donate as I write.” A sixth person said, “That was a great Carmen performance of all five, but BLOODY HELL, #ScarlettMoffatt! Where did this get here ?! Amazing!
A seventh TV fan who marked Scarlett in the post said: “Absolutely amazing, you should be so proud of yourself along with the rest of the ladies.” This year’s comic relief produced many memorable moments, including a technical error at the start, a beautiful dance by Strictly Come Dancing champions Rose Ayling-Ellis and Giovanni Pernice, and host David Tennant suffocating as he said he was “helpless” in Ukraine.
