Chris Kamara has revealed that putting off getting checked by doctors has left him feeling guilty amid his health battle over the past few years.
The popular Sky Sports presenter bravely admitted that he had been battling a rare neurological disorder apraxia of speech earlier this year, something that had affected his ability to do a vast array of things. As a result, he decided to take a step back from his TV work.
Reflecting on his battle, Kamara - a former Portsmouth, Brentford and Swindon Town footballer - admitted that he wished he had sought medical help sooner than he did, having first noticed a problem in 2020. Speaking in an interview with The Sun ahead of the release of his own emotional documentary Chris Kamara: Lost for Words, he said: “The doctor said if I’d gone in those first two or three months and had my thyroid checked then I might have been OK.
