Scarlett Moffatt's 'life long dream complete' as she announces 'passion project'

Gogglebox's Scarlett Moffatt has announced details of her new "passion project."

The star took to her Instagram Stories to explain that she has been secretly working on a new documentary for Channel 4, as she said that her life long dream was now "complete".

In the documentary, Scarlett will be exploring the rise of Tourette's syndrome and tic disorders in teenagers - a neurological disorder that causes a person to make involuntary sounds and movements called tics.

Speaking to her social media followers, she said: "I'm so excited because I can finally announce the passion project I've been working on, which is a documentary for Channel 4.

"I've wanted to do a documentary for years now and I just really love Louis Theroux and Stacey Dooley. I feel like I've got a new found respect for them. I've learnt so much - it's nothing like anything I've ever done before."

She explained what it would be about as she said: "It's all about Tourette's and tics and lots of things around that. I've met some wonderful people who have now become friends."

Scarlett went on to share a clip of some of the new friends she had made while filming, who all live with a form of tics or Tourette's.

She continued as she said: "I felt like James Bond lately because I was never allowed to say what I was working on. I felt like I was in the secret service but I can't wait for you to watch it."

"I can't believe I made a documentary."

Scarlett has previously revealed she was diagnosed with Bell's Palsy after being knocked down by a car when she was 11.

Bell's palsy is a temporary weakness or lack of movement affecting one side of the face, and most people recover within the first nine months.

The condition can be confused with a stroke, but the facial weaknesses develop gradually with Bell's palsy.
