A mum left unable to sweat following surgery to treat a painful skin condition says Prince Andrew's infamous claim infuriated her. Amy O’Connell, 38, went under the knife after being diagnosed with hidradenitis suppurativa, which leaves sufferers with painful lumps.
She had her lymph nodes, hair follicles and sweat glands removed - which means she now doesn't sweat from the neck down, she says. Amy now finds hot weather intolerable and can even faint, she said.
And she has blasted Prince Andrew's "audacity", after he claimed in a BBC interview that he doesn't sweat. The royal said he couldn't physically sweat when questioned about sexual assault allegations.
