82-year-old model: ‘It’s taken rather a long time’

5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

An 82 year old woman signed to become a model says ‘it’s taken rather a long time’. Frances Dunscombe from Surrey was accompanying her daughter to a modelling agency when she caught the eye of a talent scout. “ I was immediately told that they would be interested,� said Dunscombe. “A very long time ago I would be asked was I a model and why wasn’t I a model? I was very insecure and didn’t have the confidence. So here I am – it’s taken rather a long time hasn’t it?� she added. This clip is originally from 5 live Afternoon Edition on Monday 22 June 2015.
