Tourette Syndrome musical journey for BBC Three

Radio 1 DJ Reggie Yates is to bring together six young people with Tourette Syndrome for a one-off live musical performance.

Tourettes: Let Me Entertain You is a new three-part series which will air on BBC Three later this year. This follows on from I Swear I Can Sing which aired late last year and followed Ruth Ojadi who sang to calm her Tourette’s.

The new series features six young people brought together by Reggie to embark on remarkable musical journey. They include Ruth, who featured in the original documentary; Steve; Greg; Emilly; Tom and Jake, who all have their own unique story to tell about how they deal with Tourette Syndrome.

Reggie Yates says: “This is a documentary series that I am really passionate about that follows six ordinary young people all with amazing singing talents, and explores what it is like with this difficult and often misunderstood condition.”
