“I feel like I’ve got a purpose now”

Scott and Alex also discuss living with anxiety and the importance of enjoying your successes, rather than constantly pushing yourself too hard.

Plus Alex shares insights into his family life, and how his relationship with Liv on Love Island progressed into them saying “I do”.
