Broadcaster Chris Kamara has revealed he has been suffering from apraxia of speech, after a number of Soccer Saturday viewers were worried for his health.
Former midfielder Kamara had recently shot down speculation he was poised to leave the show after host Jeff Stelling confirmed his own imminent departure in October. Stelling, who has hosted Soccer Saturday for more than 25 years, confirmed he would step away at the end of the current season.
"Is Chris Kamara unwell?? Very slurred speech on Sky Sports," one viewer tweeted. "Take care @chris_kammy hope your ok [sic], not your usual self," was the message from another, while plenty reached out to the 64-year-old to show their support. The broadcaster had revealed last year he had been diagnosed with a thyroid condition. Now, after the recent concern, he has provided further details of his struggles.
Apraxia of speech is a condition whereby the affected person has trouble speaking. It affects the process of sending messages from the brain to the mouth in order to form intended words.
