Scarlett Moffatt has shared her own personal connection to her new documentary ahead of its release. The former Gogglebox star was diagnosed with Bell's palsy after experiencing sudden onset tics at school.
She has admitted to being left feeling out of control of her body as she tried to 'suppress' her facial tics so that she didn't stand out and draw attention to herself. The 31-year-old is now exploring the syndrome and delving into her personal battle as part of new Channel 4 documentary, Britain’s Tourette’s Mystery: Scarlett Moffatt Investigates. It will see her travel around the country to uncover potential causes of the condition.
Scarlett, who first gained popularity on Channel 4’s Gogglebox before winning I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! in 2016, developed sudden onset tics when she was a teenager. "I remember being a young teen and standing in front of the mirror for hours, just staring in the mirror and trying to get my face to go straight and trying to stop the tics," she said.
