Now the scandal is being unearthed again as the long-awaited memoir of Norman Scott – Thorpe’s lover – has been released this week. Scott, who has been called a liar and a fantasist by some critics, finally gets his say on the events that for several years rocked Britain. And it’s safe to say the account is explosive.
