Tanya Franks has broken her social media silence with a tribute to her new beau Scott Mitchell after their romance was confirmed.
Earlier this week, Scott – the widower of Barbara Windsor – announced he is in a relationship with Babs’ former colleague, EastEnders actress Tanya Franks. The 60 year old went official with the actress while on holiday in Greece, declaring: “Life feels really good right now.”
And now Tanya has broken her social media silence in a sweet tribute to her new man.
Tanya Franks takes to social media after Scott Mitchell romance confirmed
Taking to her Instagram Story on Wednesday (July 19) Tanya re-posted a video of Scott where he opened up about his mental health issues, while trying to get his followers to sign up to a 10k marathon.
“I’m supporting the hashtag do it for you campaign for the 2023 Vitality London 10k,” Scott begun the video. He then added: “I’m someone who has always had certain problems regarding my mental health. I’ve been prone to depression over the years and I’ve had addiction issues.”
Scott went on: “And the one thing I’ve found that really keeps me well, is running. I got into it by chance. It’s the one thing that helps me process my thoughts and it makes me feel good about myself.”
The video was re-shared by Tanya to her own story. It marked her first social media move since her romance with Scott was confirmed.
