'Scarlett, you need to, it's the chocolate edition,' David replied. He added: 'So, let's see how she gets on'.

Looking upset with the ordeal, she said: 'It wasn't even World Book Day. I dressed up all day because of you. I'm never talking to you again.'

It comes after an influencer who pranks her fans 'every year' by pretending to go on Love Island has hit out against the 'disgusting' comments and death threats that she has received.
Anatasia Kingsnorth, from Manchester, teased her one million followers on Instagram about going on the hit reality TV show that sees singletons 'couple up' with each other and compete to win a £50,000 prize.
The 23-year-old often gets invited by ITV to post tours of the villa on her social media accounts to create a buzz around the show.
Usually, the series has a couple of 'bombshells', which refers to people who come into the house during different points in the show and cause havoc by breaking up couples.
This year, the broadcaster offered the content creator the opportunity to make her own 'bombshell' video of her walking into the villa and they also took official pictures of her.
Viewers took the comment section to share their thoughts on David and Scarlet's video, and many were entertained
Anatasia captioned the picture, which featured her in a khaki green bikini in front of a flame in the shape of a love heart: 'I heard you're missing a bombshell?'
She then posted a video of her walking into the villa and said: 'Shall we stir the pot a little more?' the influencer then posted a clip on YouTube with the title: 'I'm going on Love Island!'
She decided to make this into a prank and told her family, friends and followers that she was jetting off to sunny Spain in search of love.
Anatasia has done this joke every season for the past couple of years and her fans quickly caught on to her prank.
Others accused her of being 'desperate' to go on the show, while others are frustrated with the annual trick.
