Channel 4 documentary Britain's Tourette's Mystery: Scarlett Moffatt.The Gogglebox star delved into the terrifying experience of developing sudden onset tics as she investigated the increase in cases of Tourette’s in Britain.Scarlett, who was 12-years-old when she developed her tics, also had Bell's Palsy, a temporary weakness or lack of movement affecting one side of the face.While Bell's Palsy usually gets better within nine months, Scarlett had to learn to control her body all over again.Speaking exclusively with Express.co.uk, Scarlett revealed why she wanted to “shine a light” on sudden onset tics to try and help younger sufferers - especially girls.Scarlett began: “I feel like when I did, it was because I have experienced that myself.“And so it's always sort of in my mind, the fact that it's happened to me, and it could happen to others.”Scarlett highlighted the huge increase in people experiencing tics, branding it a “mini pandemic”.She continued: “There's been a massive increase in young girls getting sudden onset tics, like - it's almost like a mini pandemic in itself.“And no one was really talking about it, and I wanted to shine a light on it, because I know how sort of scared I felt when I had tics as a kid.“So I wanted to, like, open the conversation up.”Scarlett explained how she believed the coronavirus pandemic had also affected children, who were left dealing with their issues whilst being left “to their own devices”.The TV star pointed out how much of the attention during that period was focused on the higher risk groups.She explained: “And also, I think during the pandemic we saw all of our concentration was on the vulnerable and the elderly, because that's who needed our help the most.“But I think in

‘I’m drugged up to the eyebrows!’ Sheila Hancock on health woes amid painful flare-ups

Radio Times.She added: "I have occasional flare-ups of pain but I force myself to rise above it.”In spite of her age and tendency to suffer bouts of pain, Sheila still enjoys regular gym visits, which are often twice a week.She has become the poster woman for those who want to remain extra fit in older age, with the 2017 film Edie having introduced the nation to a fiercely determined octogenarian widow with the ambition of climbing a mountain.It was for that role that she felt motivated to get into tip-top shape - and she hasn't looked back since.Continuing on her adventuring theme, she has also presented the Channel 4 series Great Canal Journeys.The role saw herself and co-host Gyles Brandreth team up to explore the best of Britain and Europe's waterways.Sheila has explained that she feels many people in older age are only "half-living" - and that, in contrast, she wants to enjoy each day to the full.With the help of a gluten-free vegan diet, she is trying to achieve good health and longevity.She has been described by those who speak to her as "sprightly".However, she is channelling some of that age-defying energy into challenging the wrongs of the world, as her book Old Rage demonstrates.Slamming politics as "sleazy", she has declared that the British government has "failed" its people.Other issues at the top of her grievances list include Brexit, the environment and the NHS.Meanwhile she is also working to help establish a support network for Ukrainian refugees, proving that making a positive impact on the world is still possible at any age.The full interview with Dame Sheila Hancock ran in last week's Radio Times.
