SCARLETT Moffatt has already annoyed her new neighbours with her "eyesore" new home, according to reports.

The angry residents have allegedly blasted the Saturday Night Takeaway star’s newly-built £300,000 pad for failing to fit in with their picturesque village.

Scarlett, 27, moved into the detached four-bedroom house in her ­native North East a few months ago.

The new build is set on a T-junction in the village, and 'annoyed' locals believe it doesn't fit into the look of their town.

The former reality star's posh pad comes with it's own cinema and games rooms, a large open-plan kitchen, complete with a central staircase.

One villager told The Mirror: “It’s an eyesore that sticks out like a sore thumb and lets the village down.

“It’d look better in a field with more land around it. It’s far too modern.

“It’s got hardly any garden and you’re ­looking out on to other people’s walls.”

Another local, who has lived there 54 years, thought Scarlett's home was going to be a bungalow.

Meanwhile, Scarlett faced another backlash after she was accused of "cheating" during a competition on this week's Saturday Night Takeaway.

Game Of Phones saw viewers at home call in if they knew someone in the studio audience, giving them the opportunity to fly to win £500 for both themselves and the caller at home.

Buckling under the pressure, Scarlett seemed to grab phones from the same row, causing Twitter users to suggest she wasn't being fair.

Scarlett hurried to answer as many phones as possible but when she struggled with a bad connection, she hung up on the caller, prompting shocked gasps from the live audience.

One fan tweeted: "Scarlett Moffatt lifted every phone from the same shelf!! Give everyone a chance."

Another vented: "Scarlett picks up phones upside down and back to front and wonders why no one answers her."

However Scarlett posted a cryptic tweet about 'positivity and kindness' after the comments.

Choosing to ignore the comments about it being a fix, Scarlett instead took to Twitter to thank the fans who had said nice things about her latest stint on the show.

As well as retweeting lots of positive messages, she wrote: "Thanks for all the amazing tweets about game of phones and takeaway last night.

"A day of board games and pizza for me, enjoy your sunday everybody...remember to sprinkle your positivity and kindness like confetti."
