Alex Scott’s Tearful Revelation of Traumatic Childhood Memories

Alex Scott, a former footballer, has revealed on the Loose Women panel that she suffers from horror flashbacks of her dad beating her mum during her childhood. The 38-year-old pundit spoke about her traumatic upbringing, where she claims that her dad Tony constantly left her mum battered and bruised. Alex cried as she recalled how she would pray every night that her mum would be alive in the morning. She also talked about how she coped with her abusive childhood, saying that the football cage was a safe space for her. Alex previously wrote in her memoir How (Not) To Be Strong that Tony left her and her brother Ronnie traumatised after beating them and making them throw away their toys. Tony had denied Alex’s allegations in the past. Women’s Aid has provided advice for victims and their families on how to get help.
