This Morning viewers were left flocking to social media as Chris Kamara appeared on the show and offered an emotional health update to fans. Fans may remember that he was diagnosed with Apraxia, a condition that affects his mobility and makes his speech slow, in early 2022.

As Ben gave more details about the condition and how it impacts his friend's life, Chris confessed that he finds it difficult to walk down the stairs without holding onto the handrail and
