‘Those sounds will never leave me’ Alex Scott hauntingly recalls living ‘in fear’ as child

The footballer said: “People would say, ‘Oh, ain’t they so well behaved?’

“But we sat there in fear. We did as we were told because we knew what would happen to us later if we didn’t.”

But the siblings were not the only ones living in fear of their dad, Tony.

Alex’s mum, Carol, was once beaten so badly by her dad that the presenter was scared to even make eye contact.
