Unbelievable Jeff!

Chris Kamara is set for an incredible TV return after positive steps with his speech apraxia.

The Sky Sports Soccer Saturday legend was previously diagnosed with a neurological disorder, meaning he cannot always plan and sequence required speech sound movements.

He had paused presenting duties and left Sky Sports and Goals on Sunday.

However, things are looking up for the hugely popular figure as now it has been confirmed that he alongside Goals on Sunday colleague Ben Shephard will reunite for a UK roadshow.

As per Mail Sport, Shepherd said: “Me and Kammy going around the UK in a campervan and exploring the various regions of the UK together”.

Although a full recovery has yet to be achieved, Kamara has made significant improvements through the help of a treatment centre in Mexico.

Speaking at Iain Dale’s All Talk event at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, he said: “I’ve been there twice now. I’m going back for a third time.

“I’ve got the fluency in my speech. The only thing I haven’t got is the speed of old, I know I talk 300 miles an hour before, but I’d like that back if I can. So I’m going back for more treatment.”

The football punditry added: “I’ve come through it with the help of the likes of Ben who have rallied around me. Now you think back and why was I thinking those thoughts? Get on and enjoy your life. And thankfully, I’ve been able to do that.”
