Former Leeds United midfielder Chris Kamara has opened up on his struggles following his diagnosis of apraxia of speech (AOS). AOS is a speech sound disorder whereby someone has trouble saying what they want to say consistently and correctly.
Kamara first publicly confirmed his battle with the problem back in March which prompted him to call time on his time on Sky Sports. The 64-year-old has recently returned to television screens, hosting The Games and working alongside Rochelle Humes and Ben Shepherd as a presenter for Ninja Warrior UK.
In an emotional interview with Steven Bartlett on his podcast ‘ The Diary of a CEO’, Kamara claimed when he watches himself back on TV he feels like a ‘fraud’, and as if it’s ‘someone else’ talking.
