Scarlett admitted that it’s easy to ‘attack’ yourself for how you look, saying that people convince themselves they’d be happier if they looked different.
She said Sun: ‘When you work on what’s inside and find happiness with life in general, you realize that it’s not a “you” problem, if other people consider your body a problem, it’s a “them” problem “.
“I feel like I’m finally in a place where I’m very calm, everything has clicked.
“I’ve learned to be kinder to myself and I think this is the first time I can genuinely say that I feel really confident.”

Scarlett frequently speaks out about body positivity and often shares empowering snaps on her social media that promote acceptance and trust.
Speaking about how women feel pressured to conform to beauty standards, Scarlett said bodies aren’t ‘trend’ and urged people to love themselves.
Scarlett admitted that she had given up on men before her now-boyfriend Scott Dobinson, whom she met when she was 17, came back into her life four years ago.
The I’m A Celebrity winner said she was feeling ‘defeated’ after a series of failed romances and said she thought she wouldn’t find someone to love her, instead wanting to be on Gogglebox.

However, she said her mother Betty talked her into going on a date with police officer Scott, and four years later, Scarlett said she was waiting for him to pop the question.
Her latest comments come after Scarlett shared another body-positive message over Christmas, urging people not to worry about their weight.
The reality TV star, who has been a size eight and an 18, said “life is too short” to worry about whether a dress will fit.
She said Mirror: ‘All my friends wanted to lose a few kilos to put on their party dresses, and I think life is too short.’
Empowerment: Scarlett has previously spoken about body positivity and often shares empowering snaps on her social media that promote acceptance and trust.
“And Christmas is about enjoying yourself without denying yourself,” he continued.
“When you ask me what I’m looking forward to at Christmas, I wouldn’t like to think that someone would answer you by saying that it’s looking very skinny in that dress.”
Scarlett previously said she’s very happy to be a size 18 and encourages everyone to celebrate their bodies without having to rely on ‘conjoined chubby girls’.
She is trying to get everyone to be more body positive and has been vocal about feeling confident.

Having lost three stone herself once, Scarlett said she knows how it feels to be both sizes, but says body confidence is about celebrating our bodies.
She believes that as long as people are healthy, kind to others, and true to themselves, everyone should celebrate themselves.
She told The Sun this week: “The important thing about being body positive and being body confident is just celebrating everyone’s body.”

“Some of the feedback I’ve gotten is horrible, but I don’t care because after years of struggling with my self-image, I’m finally in a place where I want to scream from the rooftops… you’re perfect just the way you are!
“Let’s normalize the fact that everyone’s body is a beach body.”
