The former Gogglebox star – who experienced tics as a child - met with 'Tourette's influencers' who have been blamed for a rise in Tourette's Syndrome.

She didn’t have all the answers and left it to the viewer to draw their own conclusion. Holly and a group of influencers met Moffatt to reflect on whether they were helping Tourette’s suffers or contributing to the epidemic of tics. “People will watch TikTok and just see the fun side,” said Moffatt. “You don’t think about the physical pain people are in.” “The Tourette’s is part of me – it’s who I am,” she said. And she brought huge reservoirs of empathy, as we saw when one of her interviewees had a violent attack of ticking and started banging his head off the floor. “I don’t want other people feeling like me at the beginning – I was terrified.”
