What is it like living withTourettes?

Available for over a year

Greg Storey, from Trentham, has lived with Tourettes his entire life. He knows John Davidson, the Tourettes campaigner who was the inspiration for the BAFTA winning film I Swear. At the 2026 BAFTAs, John Davidson was in attendance and he experienced several vocal tics, including a racial slur when two black actors Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were on the stage. Greg spoke to the BBC's Stuart George about life with Tourettes, the BAFTAs incident, and how John will be feeling.
