Scarlett ‘heartbroken' as she vows to help her mum overcome addiction

Heartbroken Scarlett Moffatt has vowed to be there for mum Betty as she gets help in her battle with gambling addiction.

It emerged earlier this month that the 50-year-old stole thousands of pounds from her TV presenter daughter’s bank account to fund her habit.

A source has revealed to new that Betty – who works for Scarlett and has been described by the star as her “mamager” – confessed after losing a fortune online during lockdown.
