ITV This Morning's guests Chris Kamara and Ben Shephard created a flurry of comments on social media this week. Chris took to the ITV daytime show to talk about the impact of living with a speech condition.
Former footballer turned sports pundit Chris, better known as Kammy, was discussing his health on the show. He was sharing his battle with speech disorder, apraxia, and how he had tried to cover up the condition. He first spoke out in March, according to the Manchester Evening News, after concerned fans had messaged him to ask if he was OK following an appearance on the weekly Sky Sports show, Soccer Saturday.
Kammy quit Sky Sports after 24 years but is now back on TV with a new ITV documentary - Chris Kamara: Lost For Words. He took to the This Morning sofa to chat to host Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary about his new show and explained his decision to talk about his health. He said: "We take for granted when we speak, it’s natural but the message from the brain to the mouth somehow gets confused and the words come out wrong or they come out slow or they don't come out at all."
