Robbie isn’t the only celebrity to open up about having tourette syndrome. Lewis Capaldi has been open about his diagnosis.

The Scottish singer, 28, took two years away from music in 2023 when he was left unable to sing while performing on the Glastonbury Pyramid stage due to his Tourette’s syndrome.

Billie Eilish also has Tourette’s syndrome and opened up about this publicly in 2018 when she was just 16.

She revealed in a social media post: ‘‘I have been diagnosed with Tourette’s. I’ve never mentioned it on the internet because nobody thinks I’m deadasss.. As well as… the fact that I’ve never wanted people to think of Tourette’s every time they think of me.

‘And my tics are only physical and not super noticeable to others if you’re not really paying attention. (Believe me, having them is a whole different type of misery),’ she said in a long message to her fans.
