Posting on Twitter on August 24, she wrote: “We had a hoot when signing the nullity petition today -” invalid consent by mistake – it turns out we are both gay. “Take advantage. “Judge. The screenplay will be released next year.”
Scott, who is from Dundee, Scotland and represented the Healey & Whitworth neighborhood in the 2019 Rossendale City Council election, only asked Emma Thompson to write the script.
The ex-couple also said they were eager to start having double dates, with Jo now a couple with young doctor Wendy Rennie.
“Wendy and I are dying to have a double date with Scott +1,†she admitted on Twitter. “A double marriage would be incredible! ”
Social media users praised the couple and claimed it looked like something from the pages of a Richard Curtis script, like Notting Hill, Love Actually, or Four Weddings and a Funeral.
One of them wrote: ‘Oh my god these are bananas. I LIVE !!!!!’ as another put it, “Thanks for sharing this. Absolutely made my day. Very happy for both of you!”
A third added: ‘What an eventful month. Glad you both live happily and honest with yourselves.
Scott’s original tweet, which spanned over 12,000 times, read: “I composed and deleted this tweet thousands of times, but here it is: I’m gay.
“The ones I have told so far have been wonderful, and I am more grateful to them than they think. It’s liberating to be able to be myself and I can’t wait to see what’s next. ‘
