Tourette syndrome is a neurological condition that affects approximately three hundred thousand people in the UK.

The more noticeable symptoms are involuntary motor and vocal tics, but people with the condition can also struggle with anxiety and depression.

As part of Disability Pride month, we spoke to Raymond Risso, a local man who lives with Tourettes.  

Kelly-Anne Borge asked him how he felt when he got his diagnosis.
