Former Gogglebox star Scarlett Moffatt has been open about her experiences with ticks as a teenager and last night, Tuesday, July 19, fronted her own documentary on Channel 4, Britain's Tourette's Mystery: Scarlett Moffatt Investigates.
During the documentary, Moffatt interviewed a neurologist who blames social media for exacerbating the outbreak of Tourette's, explaining that drawing attention to tics is the exact opposite of medical advice. Scarlett's documentary throughout poses the question of how social media can affect and shape young minds.
The show gained mixed reactions from viewers on social media, with some questioning the programme's information and Moffatt's presenting. One user on Twitter said: "From someone who suffers with Tourette's, please believe me when I tell you, Tourette's syndrome isn't contagious. Please do not believe this documentary."
