John Bishop and partially deaf son to star in new TV documentary about hearing loss

John Bishop and his son Joe Bishop will share the realities of hearing loss in a "personal and insightful" new documentary which is due to air on ITV later this year.

Life After Deaf will see the comedian, 55, and his eldest son, 27 - who lost most of his hearing when he was 15 - go on a journey to understand more about the deaf community.

The one-hour documentary will see the father and son learn British Sign Language (BSL) together and open up about the 12 years since Joe became partially deaf himself.
