Chris Kamara pulls out of TV presenter job amid ongoing speech problems

Football legend Chris Kamara has pulled out of hosting UK's Strongest Man due to his ongoing battle with apraxia of speech.

The 65-year-old, who left Sky Sports last year due to his condition, was expected to host the three-day event at the Motorpoint Arena in Nottingham this weekend but will no longer be doing so. He has urged fans to attend the event, insisting it will be "spectacular".
