Chris Kamara Returns to TV with Travel Series

Chris Kamara, the beloved Sky Sports presenter, is poised for a comeback to television despite his ongoing battle with speech apraxia, a condition that significantly affected his ability to communicate. The 65-year-old will reunite with former co-host Ben Shephard for a new travel series where the duo will explore the UK in a campervan, reminiscent of popular formats like Gordon, Gino and Fred: Road Trip. Kamara, who stepped down from Sky Sports in 2022, has reported improvements in his speech after receiving treatment in Mexico, stating he is working to regain the speed of his speech from before his condition. He expressed gratitude for the support he has received and acknowledged the challenges he faces, including difficulties with strength and balance. Shephard humorously noted the adjustment in Kamara's speech as he now 'thinks too long' before speaking. This new venture marks an uplifting chapter in Kamara's career as he continues to navigate his health challenges.
