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

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.
