Sky Sports legend Chris Kamara in heartbreaking health update as he explains he can't walk down stairs unaided


Football icon Chris Kamara has updated This Morning viewers on his health battle after being diagnosed with apraxia - a neurological condition affecting speech - two years ago

Sky Sports presenter Chris Kamara has delivered an update on his devastated health battle, revealing that he is no longer able to walk down the stairs unaided.

He added that talking about his condition in his ITV documentary Chris Kamara: Lost for Words helped him - particularly as he was supported by his Ninja Warrior UK co-presenter Ben Shephard.
