Lewis Capaldi shares he has Tourette’s syndrome and why he's gone public with diagnosis

Lewis Capaldi has been diagnosed with Tourette’s syndrome and is learning how to live with the twitches and the condition.

The Scottish singer, 25, says his decision to make his diagnosis public knowledge was due to the fact he doesn't want his fans thinking he is "taking cocaine or something", as he opens up about discovering he has the condition that causes a person to make involuntary sounds and movements called tics.

Lewis - who releases a new single on Friday - explains how he was relieved to find out he had the condition because he originally feared he might be suffering a degenerative disease, and says he can see signs he had Tourettes when looking back at old interviews.
