Scarlett Moffatt reveals struggles with facial tics on The One Show ahead of Tourette's documentary debut

Scarlett Moffatt appeared on The One Show sofa where she has spoken out about her struggle with facial tics ahead of her documentary debut. The County Durham star was diagnosed with Bell's palsy when she was 11.

Moffatt, who found fame among other TV-loving families on Gogglebox, was involved in a car accident when she was younger and as a result, she developed early onset tics. They did eventually subside, but the star opened up to hosts Alex Jones and Ronan Keating about scary it was.

"I remember how scary it was, and in particular not being in control of my own body," she admitted. "My tics were facial tics, breathing tics, there weren't any verbal ones but there were involuntary facial tics."
