Scott recently told how he credits acting for helping him overcome a speech impediment.
He explained to The Times magazine: "I had a speech impediment as a child and acting helped me be less self-conscious and shy.
"I had a strong lisp and in elocution lessons I practised improvisation and verbalising phrases like, 'She sells seashells on the seashore.'
"I still find acting helpful."
Away from appearing in front of the camera, the actor, who is due to star in 'Wake Up Dead Man', the next Knives Out mystery, takes pleasure in painting.
He said: "I love painting people, and my mother [who was an art teacher] was very influential. She made sure that I drew from observation.
"She always said, 'Draw something that you see, not something that is in your mind', and that's always stuck with me.
"I don't have a life you'd describe as unusual. I live in the city, and I go home to Ireland and see my loved ones.
"I go to the gym and, honestly, I just love going to the movies. And galleries. All of that artsy stuff gets my heart beating.

"Nature is increasingly important to me. I love the coast particularly. And mountains. And spectacular canyons. All of it is pretty amazing."

Apprentice star who grills candidates for Alan Sugar is 'shamed' after falling for iTunes gift card scam
A successful businessman and star of The Apprentice has admitted falling victim to an iTunes gift card con. Publishing guru Mike Soutar, who grills candidates on the BBC series for Lord Alan Sugar, has told of his 'shame' after succumbing to an elaborate online fraud. The entrepreneur, 58, was tricked into paying £150 for Apple iTunes vouchers, he has revealed. He had received an email that he thought came from Scottish businessman Tim Allan, whom he sits alongside on the board of the V&A Museum in Dundee. It asked him to buy £450 worth of vouchers for members of staff at the museum to recognise their recent hard work in preparing a new exhibition. Mr Soutar, who said he was pushed for time, immediately bought vouchers to the value of £150 - but his credit card blocked his attempt to purchase more. He then realised the email address the message had been sent from was different from Mr Allan's. And when he called his colleague, who is chairman of the V&A Dundee, he realised he had been scammed. Mr Soutar has now spoken out about falling prey, writing on LinkedIn: 'When Tim Allan CBE asks you to take on an assignment you snap to it. 'So when he emails a request for me to take on a "special assignment" early on Saturday morning, I am intrigued. '"Can you buy some vouchers for some of the members of the team to recognise their hard work over and above the call of duty?" 'This is typical Tim. Brilliant at knowing the right time to make a personal gesture. And he's right - the team have been working overtime to put on an epic new Garden Design exhibition. 'We exchange emails. Tim says he knows he can trust me to keep it all confidential. And then: "Can you get the vouchers in the next 20-30 minutes?" 'Erm, OK, I reply, but it'll have to be online. "That's fine," he says, "Just get iTune gift cards, do £450-worth, send me the PINs and keep the cards in an envelope for me.' 'He sounds a bit stressed and impatient so I try to call him. I get no answer but, pressed for time myself, I buy £150 of vouchers. 'My credit card flags the second transaction and blocks it. I curse the overcautious fraud filter, and I tap on Tim's name at the top of the email address. He has been interviewing candidates on The Apprentice on each series since 2011 'It is not his email address. I message him. He phones me back. "What's all this about vouchers?" I've been scammed.' Mr Soutar ultimately got his money back but has gone public with the details, saying he wanted to warn others that anyone can fall victim to fraud. He added: 'The part that stings is the sense of shame. The stomach-punch to your self-worth. The voice in your head saying, "You absolute mug, Mike. How did you fall for it?" 'The irony is not lost on me. I'm the man who catches unwitting candidates out on The Apprentice! 'But scams don't prey on stupidity. They prey on timing. On stress. On distraction. They exploit trust. That's why so many victims don't talk about it. 'Because it feels personal. It shakes something deeper than your bank balance. 'So here I am, not staying silent. Fraud can happen to anyone. Even me. Even you.' Dundee-born Mr Soutar has had various senior executive roles in the publishing industry and was recently appointed to the UK Government's Board of Trade to champion the best of British business to the rest of the world. He is seen alongside singer Sam Ruder as part of an SXSW London 2025 panel on Tuesday His previous jobs have included being editor of Smash Hits magazine aged 23, managing director of radio station Kiss FM and co-founder and chairman of publishing firm Shortlist Media. He has been one of Lord Sugar's on-screen interviewers of the final candidates on every series of the Apprentice since 2011, subjecting them to tough questioning. Figures released earlier this week revealed Scottish victims have lost more than £860,000 to cyber criminals in the last year. In what is dubbed a "scamdemic" by charity Advice Direct Scotland, the number of such crimes rose from 94 in 2021-22 to 1,119 in 2024-25 - up 1,090 per cent.

Craig Revel Horwood: I'll spill Strictly gossip and sing for crowds in Stirling, Dundee and Dunfermline
Known for his choreography skills, it's perhaps predictable that Craig Revel Horwood jokes he's looking forward to 'a Highland fling' in Scotland later this month. But it's not just his dancing that the Strictly Come Dancing judge is showing off on his latest UK tour – it's also his less heralded talent for singing. Revel Horwood is due to round off a 43-date road trip with four Scottish shows on The Courier's doorstep. It all follows the release of his debut album Revelations – Songs Boys Don't Sing, which reached the Top 20 in the UK charts last October. The very fact that he's made an LP at all has raised more than a few eyebrows, but Craig actually started singing as a boy in his native Australia in the 1970s. He initially made his name in the early 2000s as a West End director and choreographer, before going on to mastermind the opening to Manchester's 2002 Commonwealth Games. Since settling into the judge's seat he still occupies when ballroom-based BBC hit Strictly was launched in 2004, he has gone on to make his mark on stage over the past decade in roles such as alcoholic orphanage caretaker Miss Hannigan in a touring version of Annie and as The Wizard Of Oz's iconic Wicked Witch of the West. But it was the approach of one of life's milestones that spurred him into the recording studio. 'My mum wanted me to make an album, and I thought I'd better do one before I'm 60, which I am now, and I'll take it out on the road,' says Craig. 'It's a compilation of a lot of women's songs that I've played before, so all of the material is very character-driven. It's a delve into my life as a musician really, because that's how I started contemplating even dancing.' The former Melbourne drag queen, who moved to London in 1989, plays both the trumpet and the French horn, but reveals it was an instrument forever associated with primary school that set him on his musical journey. 'It started with the recorder, which is how a lot of people start,' he explains. 'Everyone laughs at that, but we had a proper consort of recorders. It was a seven-piece and I played at Sydney Opera House, and we actually found a tape recording of us playing in 1978 so I play that to the audience during my show. 'If that's not worth 36 quid I don't know what is.' Putting on his serious face for a moment, Revel Horwood declares his upcoming Scottish sojourn will provide an intimate insight into what makes him tick, as well as the ups and downs he's experienced since becoming a household name. 'The show is about my love for the music and how it's affected my life,' he adds. 'It's about relationships, too, because we all go through the same emotions, so I'll be talking about that, and heartbreak, and where it can lead. 'Adele has proved how much emotion heartbreak can evoke, not just for singers, but for the audience too. 'I'm also going to be telling a lot of showbiz stories, a lot of Strictly backstage goss. What is Shirley Ballas really like? I'll be delving into that, and why Bruno (Tonioli) left. 'I will answer any question I'm asked, whether it's on Strictly, my personal life, anything – I don't care.' Craig, who's joined on stage by his piano-playing Celebrity Gogglebox sidekick Ben Goddard, outlines what to expect in between the revelatory chat. 'The tour is full of weird and wonderful things, like great songs obviously, with a little bit of dancing, some Shirley Bassey I've got up my sleeve, a little bit of Ursula from The Little Mermaid and the mad characters I've played over the years,' he says. 'I wanted to put something together that was really personal and for people to feel like they're just coming to have a cocktail party with me at my house – I even have a cooking segment. 'I won't have my judging panels and I won't have my judge's hat on. I'm going to be just me.'

Queen's two-word comment after seeing Archie and Lilibet for final time
Princess Lilibet met the Queen during the Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June 2022. Yesterday, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle 's daughter, Princess Lilibet turned four years old and the proud mum shared several unseen snaps on her social media to mark the occasion. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex welcomed their youngest child into the world in on June 4, 2021, two years after the birth of her older brother Archie, who is now six. In 2020, the family relocated to the US after Harry and Meghan made the decision to step back from their royal duties. And two years later, in 2022, Harry's grandmother, the longest-serving British monarch, passed away at the age of 96, prompting him and Meghan to return to the UK to be with his family. Looking back on his children's "final visit" to the Queen, Prince Harry suggested she was "bemused" by the youngsters, writes The Mirror. In his autobiography Spare, Harry opened up about her funeral before saying: "The following morning, Meg and I left for America. "For days and days we couldn't stop hugging the children, couldn't let them out of our sight, though I also couldn't stop picturing them with granny, the final visit. "Archie was making deep, chivalrous bows, his baby sister Lilibet cuddling the monarch's shins." Recounting his grandmother's response, he said she referred to them as the "sweetest children", while "sounding bemused". "She'd expected them to be a bit more... American, I think? Meaning, in her mind, more rambunctious," he added. "Now, while overjoyed to be home again, doing drop-offs again, reading Giraffes Can't Dance again, I couldn't stop remembering." After she passed away, her son, Harry's dad, ascended to the throne as King Charles III, with his wife Camilla taking on the role of Queen Consort. Reports suggest that King Charles and Queen Camilla have met Archie a handful of times but have only met Lilibet once during the Platinum Jubilee celebrations for Queen Elizabeth II in June 2022. In recent years, Prince Harry and his family have become distant, a fact he confirmed himself in a recent interview. Speaking to the BBC, the Duke of Sussex expressed a desire for reconciliation, stating: "There's no point continuing to fight any more, life is precious." Harry said that his father "won't speak to him" following a dispute over his security arrangements. This year, Harry faced defeat in a legal case concerning the downgrading of his personal security level. Reflecting on the verdict, he shared: "I'm devastated - not so much as devastated with the loss that I am about the people behind the decision, feeling as though this is okay. Is it a win for them? "I'm sure there are some people out there, probably most likely the people that wish me harm, W.H.O. consider this a huge win." Prince Harry also mentioned that he has decided against pursuing further legal action, as the judgement "proven that there was no way to win this through the courts". He went on to say the decision also meant that he "can't see a world in which I would bring my wife and children back to the UK at this point". Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
