Scarlett Moffatt appeared on This Morning on Tuesday, July 19 to talk about her upcoming documentary, Britain's Tourette's Mystery: Scarlett Moffatt Investigates. During a chat with presenters Dermot O'Leary and Alison Hammond, the Gogglebox star, 31, opened up about her own experiences with Tourette's.
She revealed: "I had tics when I was younger so when I was 11 I had facial tics, especially with my eyes then they just went on their own." Scarlett has previously gone on record to state her belief that her tics were the result of suffering Bell's palsy after she was hit by a car. You can read more about that here.
"I remember how lonely I felt at the time and during lockdown, I kept getting articles saying the rise in tics in teenagers was going crazy," said Scarlett, who found fame on Channel 4's Gogglebox. Talking about her own experiences, she added: "You can suppress them, that's what I was doing at school, but when I got home they'd all come out all at once."
