Appearing on Good Morning Britain in April before his latest London Marathon run, he said: "This is definitely my last marathon and my last time running for Babs’ Army. I know I said that last time but this one really is my last one. It doesn’t get easier."
He went to explain that it was time to "pull back a little".
Scott added: "For the last few years I have tried to keep Barbara’s memory alive… It has been really important for me to do but it’s now time to focus on myself for a bit. I need to look after myself and focus on my future and my happiness."
