Chris Kamara flooded with support as he shares 'embarrassment' over speech disorder in emotional documentary

Chris Kamara has been inundated with support following the release of his documentary which shone a light on his battle with a speech disorder. The former footballer, better known as Kammy, first spoke out about his Apraxia diagnosis back in March after fans messaged him to ask if he was okay as he appeared on the weekly show Soccer Saturday.

During his ITV documentary, Lost For Words, which aired on Wednesday night (December 14), Kammy discussed the moment he started getting tweets about his slow and slurred speech, with some suggesting he was 'drunk' while others were concerned for his health.

The former football pundit was then forced to respond in a message on social media before later, appearing on Good Morning Britain, where he was heaped with praise from viewers, following his chat with Ben Shephard and Charlotte Hawkins about the sudden development of Apraxia.
