Sky Sports’ Chris Kamara shares hope of potential speech apraxia cure

Chris Kamara has shared his hope of being cured of his speech apraxia after being introduced to a top doctor in the US.

The Sky Sports legend, 64, was forced to take a step back from many of his television roles after revealing his diagnosis earlier this year. The neurological condition affects the body’s motor functions and occurs when messages from the brain to the mouth are disrupted, causing issues with a person's speech.

One of the country’s most beloved football pundits, Kammy returned to hosting duties on Ninja Warrior UK last week, despite the condition which can make his voice appear slurred. He has tried several treatments in the UK, including hypnotherapy, using an oxygen tent, and having microcurrents through his brain.
