TV presenter and former "I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here" Melanie Sykes self-diagnosed herself with Tourettes syndrome last year during an episode of Alan Carr's podcast "Life's A Beach." Speaking to Carr about swearing on air, she said at the time, "I'll try not to. I've just discovered I have Tourette's. I am wired in a completely different way and I'm only just understanding it. Where I used to think 'what's wrong with me?' now I know it's everything that's right with me."
Following the release of the podcast, she took to Twitter to set the record straight, writing: "Hello there. For the record I have NOT been 'diagnosed' with Tourettes. I self identify because of my studies and understanding of the pre existing 'conditions' that are hand in hand in some autistic people. Thanks to @KieranRose7 and his insight."
