As a radio host on The Breeze, Robert Scott is well-known for his upbeat personality, but lately there’s something causing his top lip to quiver – the departure of his beloved daughter Molly on her big OE.
“I pretty much decided to go on the spur of the moment because I wanted to live outside my comfort zone,” says Molly, 22, just before her departure. “But Dad is most definitely banned from the airport because he’ll be such a wreck when we say goodbye.”
But Robert, 56, is confident his only daughter will land on her feet in the UK, as she is possibly the most organised person in the world.
