Scarlett Moffatt says she would love to be probed by aliens after a close encounter with a real life ET left her in a sweat.
The I’m A Celebrity champ is convinced she came face-to-face with an inter-galactic traveller as a youngster when a “massive flash of light” filled her bedroom.
She is certain the “really slow beam” was an alien.
Scarlett, 30, and her Gogglebox co-star dad Mark are so sure aliens exist that the pair have a “safe word” in case they are abducted by little green men.
Should aliens land on Earth in the future, the TV star – who used to hunt crop circles with her dad at age six – said she would volunteer to be studied by them.
She told her new podcast, Scarlett Moffatt Wants To Believe: “Even when I was about eight me and my dad had a safe word – and our safe word was in case we got body snatched by aliens.
“I’m not going to say what it is. I can’t say in case it still happens.

“So that in our mind we would shout out really loud so that the alien would have to say the word and we would know that we weren’t really us – we were taken over by the aliens. That was basically my childhood.
“I actually think I’ve seen an alien. No, genuinely, when I was a kid. I was about 10-years-old and I remember it was two days before Christmas. There was a massive flash of light in my bedroom. I did see one.
“I seen [sic] a big flash of light through my window and then when I went to sleep I dreamt that aliens had visited me.
“And then I woke up and I was sweating and I was only 10, you don’t really sweat when you’re 10. I could think it was a dream but it could have really happened.
“It was like a really slow beam of light. It was an alien. I honestly think I was visited.”
The British Tribe Next Door star said her dad told her that she had been probed by aliens when she blacked out aged 17 and woke up bearing a mysterious mark – only to discover she had landed on a plug.
“I fell and my dad did convince me that I had been probed,’’ she said.
“I had a mark on my body that was a perfect triangle. It was very symmetrical – but I had landed on a plug!
“But I would have liked to have been probed, that’s the thing. Genuinely, if aliens came down now I would put myself on the waiting list to be probed because I would love to know what they know.’’
Scarlett – whose middle name is Sigourney after Alien star Weaver – said her telly-watching dad and mum Betty had long been prepared for all kinds of out-of-this-world attacks.
The couple have kept their roof space prepared for a zombie apocalypse for years.
“From about the age of 13 we’ve always had an attic full of apocalypse stuff in case a zombie apocalypse happens,’’ she said.
“We’ve got tinned food, we’ve got a stove. We’ve old welding masks. I’ve got no idea what we’re going to do with them.’’
