Chris Kamara Bravely Opens Up On His Battle With Apraxia | This Morning

He was later diagnosed with a rare condition called Apraxia of Speech (AOS) which is the subject of his new documentary ‘Lost For Words’. Chris joins us today alongside his close friend Ben Shephard to share his story.

Kammy is outstanding. He's strong, tough, caring, emotional and proud. And so he should be Kammy has nothing to be ashamed of. I was born disabled and I will never be ashamed or embarrassed about my situation I was born disabled so it's beyond my control Kammy and I never asked to be this way but we have to hold our heads up high and say to others just look what we are able to do which is often far more than isn't people. But please don't state or second guess what's wrong with us ask instead as to not ask is an insult. Kammy please try and sing again with your beautiful voice, you never know it might help it does for so many with different speech and brain issues. Kammy your very much loved and supported. There'll only ever be one true kammy

[@DBriddo]

Obviously the crew at sky in Osterley didn't know his condition at the time, but it's quite sad to know how much Kammy was going through trying to understand what the f was going on. Similar situation with me working at Sky, thankfully not in a public-facing role! Love ya Kammy!

[@stevenclark1973]

Hate seeing this fella like this. We all miss your voice on the channel. Not the same with you not being on sky with the voice we all looked forward to listening to. Hope he gets better. ASAP

Most likely vaccine induced yes. Very sad

[@chrishaddow5644]

exactly reap what they sow

[@wick7201]

So where did you draw this conclusion then? From the toilet?

[@pz189]

Rona Vaccine? He said in the first minute of this video it was in 2019 when he started getting symptoms, long before the vaccines came out... Confirmation bias isn't good.

[@BrianMartin-ph7pt]

Kammy is a legend - a good lad.
