News about Tony Scott

The BBC football pundit (pictured as a child, left) describes her father Tony Scott (centre) as a "controlling reckless drunk" who was'stupidly cruel' and that she and her brother would often hear him beating their mother. In one case, she believed she had died. On one occasion, she recalled how he beat them and made them throw their toys away, implying that their life under him has left her so traumatized that she is unable to hug her mother Carol or brother Ronnie. Alex, 37, was consoled by Holly Willoughby (right) after breaking down in tears on ITV's This Morning as she talked about her father's death and leaving the family's house in east London when she was seven years old. However, Mr Scott, 63, vehemently denied the charges and said he was unclear why Alex is depicting him in this way, even though he was speaking directly to MailOnline. I have no idea why she's saying all this stuff,' she cried. I was born in a strict but loving Jamaican family, and Alex should know what they look like. I taught her discipline, but I didn't do a lot to support her.'
