Melanie Sykes has said she "self-identifies" as having Tourette's syndrome. The TV presenter and former model, born in Ashton-under-Lyne, opened up about researching the condition after she was diagnosed with autism.

Sykes has just written a new book in which she details her experiences of being a woman in the media, as well as her journey to being told she had autism at the age of 51 two years ago.
