Chris Kamara, the former Soccer Saturday pundit, appeared on Good Morning Britain on Thursday to discuss his battle with speech apraxia with hosts Susanna Reid and Ben Shephard
Good Morning Britain viewers have been left in tears after football legend Chris Kamara became emotional while discussing his battle with speech apraxia.
But Kammy went to a thyroid expert, who told him the condition does not normally affect the voice, so he needed another opinion. He went to see a brain specialist, who diagnosed him with apraxia of speech after just two minutes. Chris replied: “That’s been the good thing about all this. Ben was behind me coming out and doing the documentary and talking about it. And once I’d spoken about it, you get it off your chest, and realise that everyone’s behind you.Ben, who is close friends with Kammy - working alongside him on TV shows such as Goals on Sunday and NInja Warrior - said that his pal needed to understand that the condition did not change the way his friends and family felt about him.
Closing the interview, Kammy said: “Can I say a big thank you, Ben, because none of this would have happened without your help.”
