Scott said that he misses the activities they used to enjoy, such as romantic meals and long walks, with the hardest being unable to go on holidays together anymore. He said: 'For me, the hardest part was accepting and coming to terms with the diagnosis. At the beginning I refused to accept any support, thinking I could cope as we have always been quite private people.'
He said: 'Caring for Julie is my priority, but my health was being affected and as a lone carer I felt it was 'killing me'. It was like being thrown into a new world of having to do everything by myself.' Scott announced the news Julie had been diagnosed with dementia last summer, releasing a statement that read: 'My darling wife and I have had to come to terms with this heart-breaking diagnosis.
