Alex Scott visits Jamaica for the first time! | WDYTYA UK

Ойын-сауық

Presenter and former footballer Alex Scott delves into both sides of her family history. Having known nothing of her Jewish ancestry on her mum’s side, Alex is proud to discover that her great grandad was at the Battle of Cable Street in London’s East End in 1936, facing down fascist followers of Oswald Mosley. On the other side of her family, Alex’s Jamaican grandparents were part of the Windrush generation. Alex travels to Jamaica for the first time in her life, following her beloved nan Philicita’s line, and discovers the enormous hardship her great-great-grandmother Henrietta Coombs suffered. Two generations further back, Alex is shaken to learn about another ancestor whose lifetime began during the era of slavery and ended after its abolition.

    To everyone hating on the mask, this was filmed in 2021 during the height of Covid. Notice how far she is standing from the other woman as well, its not embaressing she was literally doing what was recommended at the time.

    You have family in Jamaica and you’re not broke but it’s your first time going ? She might as well have not bothered. It amazes me how she went enquire about the dead but not her live family kmt.

    He seems more like a ginnal than a jack of all trades. Seems like this lady wanted her turn of the century ancestor to be a Prince or something.. Back then the typical person was a servant, farmer or laborer and it qas all good

    Ginnal was the first word out of my mouth too😂. I don't agree with the rest of your comment though, I actually think she is surprised that he seemed to be doing OK.

    This is your takeaway from this video? Why concern yourself with what other people choose to do with their face?. It certainly does not affect you.
