Tourette's syndrome symptoms as Lewis Capaldi praised for opening up about condition

Lewis Capaldi has opened up about living with Tourette's syndrome after a video of the singer on his latest tour sparked concern among his fans.

The 26-year-old star reassured his fans when a clip went viral showing him twitching during a set, explaining on TikTok that he was "absolutely fine" and that the tics he experiences because of his Tourette's become more "intense" when he is nervous, tired or excited. Lewis shared that he had been diagnosed with the condition back in September, describing the diagnosis as a "weight off his shoulders" after experiencing symptoms of Tourette's his whole life.

Fans were full of praise for the Forget Me singer for being so open about living with the condition, with many others who live with Tourette's expressing how much it meant to them seeing someone in the spotlight talking about it. Here's everything you need to know about what Tourette's is, what the symptoms are, and what to do if you think you might have it, according to the NHS.
