Veteran broadcaster Jeremy Paxman has revealed that his doctor noticed he had Parkinson's disease after watching him on TV.
The former Newsnight presenter said the diagnosis came when he was in hospital after collapsing while walking his dog. One of the doctors said he had noticed the 72-year-old's face had acquired a "Parkinson's mask".
"Well, it was completely out of the blue," Paxman said of the diagnosis. "I was having a walk in the square across the way. There was ice around and I had the dog with me - the dog was on a lead.
