‘I’ve been waiting a long time!’

Scott Cam is excited for his next chapter as a granddad. Instagram

Scott Cam has exposed a softer side this week on The Block as he gushes over the birth of his first grandchild, Tiggy.

“She is amazingly beautiful,” Scott, 62, tells TV WEEK. “Every time I talk about it, I get very emotional. My wife says, ‘What’s the matter with you?’ And I just can’t stop – she’s incredible.”

Tiggy is the daughter to Scott’s eldest son Charlie, 29, and partner Amber, and the proud grandfather was whisked away from site in order to be there for the special moment as seen in tonight’s episode.

Since her birth, newborn Tiggy and her grandad have been thick as thieves.

“I take her everywhere,” the father of three declares. “She’s been to the footy a couple of times – I’ve even taken her to the pub!”

For Scott, it has been one of his greatest achievements to see his son, Charlie, become a parent.

“Everyone that reads this that is a grandparent will say the same thing – it’s just so unbelievable that your baby has had a baby,” Scott says. “But the first one is special. They’re all going to be special, and I’m looking forward to having 10 of them – the more the merrier.”

Scott has been preparing for his grandad chapter for longer than you’d expect, for 10 years to be precise.

“I bought a farm many years ago and I’ve been building on that farm, fixing it up, building sheds and preparing,” he reveals. “I’ve got all activities for little ones, all the equipment, they’re going to have a good time.”
