Coronation Street star Rob Mallard has admitted his tremor is getting worse.
The actor - who plays Daniel Osbourne on the ITV soap - says he has had to make changes to his working life to adapt to his condition.
Rob says his tremor causes him to shake badly and it has only "got worse" the older he gets.
Rob explained how the cast and crew of Coronation Street had helped him adapt to things, and whilst the shakes initially focused around his hand, they have since moved to his arm, legs, neck and head.
He says at the time of the initial diagnosis, it was played down by doctors who insisted there wasn't anything they were able to do about it.
"It’s got worse. It used to just be my hand but now the whole of my arm shakes, my legs shake, the back of my neck and head shake. It looks like I'm saying ‘no’ to everything all the time," he shared to The Express.
"I didn't really take it as a diagnosis at the time. The doctor just said there was nothing that they could do and also downplayed it. He said that it wasn't a particularly bad tremor, but it wasn't then, I was still quite young.
"As I've gotten older, I've gotten worse, and I've been looked into it and I've seen what people are like in the 70s and 80s. It was a bit of a shock."
It means he has to make some changes to his working life, but says the cast and crew of Coronation Street are very accommodating.
"I manage it with humour really, because if you don't, it can get frustrating. You get very wound up in yourself so I just kind of take it with a humorous perspective. With work, they're all aware of it," he shared.
"If there's something that comes up or if I need to do something I'll usually just practice and practice and practice. But if I do shake and it's very obvious I'll just stop and say 'can I go again?'"
Rob had previously explained how he struggles to control his condition.
"I was diagnosed with an essential tremor when I was 14, but I didn’t realise how serious it was until I was in my mid 20s. You assume with shaking it’s an old people thing," he explained to This Morning hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield via video link.
"It’s common in young people and often misdiagnosed as anxiety, or people may think your withdrawing from something, whereas it’s actually neurones in the brain that are firing incorrectly, causing involuntary shaking."
