Moffatt Investigates airs this Tuesday, and we now have our first look at the show thanks to an exclusive clip.<\/p>\n<p>In the clip, Moffatt asks Holly Ann Rutherford, a Tik Tok creator with Tourette\u2019s, whether it\u2019s ok to laugh, to which she responds that it is, but that she prefers it if people laugh with her rather than at her.<\/p>\n<p>Moffatt then asks whether social media likes and follows subconsciously make her feel like she needs to more content where she\u2019s tic\u2019ing, to which she says yes.<\/p>\n<p>You can watch the full exclusive clip for <a

src=\"&quot;\/\/players.brightcove.net\/69912529001\/ByeOf0VZEl_default\/index.min.js&quot;\"\/><p>Also in the clip, Rutherford says she will accept paid promotions for her content but that the main reason for doing it is to help other people with Tourette\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>She then exclaims \u201cOh look, it\u2019s the Queen of the Jungle\u201d, which Moffatt says is her favourite of Rutherford\u2019s tics.<\/p>\n<p>The full documentary sees Moffatt investigating the rise of Tourette\u2019s in Britain, attempting to uncover the potential causes for this and to explain why it\u2019s appearing out of the blue in young people<\/p>\n<p>In a Q&amp;A ahead of the documentary airing, Moffatt explained that she did it because when she was younger she also got an onset of tics.<\/p>\n<p>She said: \u201cWhen I started seeing all these articles and TikToks about loads of young girls who were around my age when I got it, getting sudden onset tics, I just felt like it was something I wanted to investigate and luckily the telly powers that be allowed that to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about the moment seen in the clip, Moffatt was asked what the funniest thing anyone said to her while filming the show.<\/p>\n<div class=\"&quot;image-handler__container\" image-handler__container--aspect=\"\" style=\"&quot;padding-bottom:\" calc=\"\"> <picture><source

intimate comedy show where the funniest parts are the bits that relate to you. We\u2019re all big headed creatures really. I actually quite liked it when they took the mick out of me \u2013 I found that funny and I definitely got a thicker skin for it. But they all kept tic\u2019ing that I was old! So now, I\u2019m like am I old?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Moffatt was also asked about her experiences meeting a psychiatrist and a neurologist who are experts in the field of Tourette\u2019s, and what the most interesting thing they told her was.<\/p>\n<p>She explained: \u201cOne of the things that I found absolutely fascinating was something Dr Chowdhury said. He said normally sudden onset tics is more prevalent in young boys but now, since the pandemic, we\u2019re seeing it more in young girls, and one reason they think is that because young boys are frequently gaming which meant they were still busy, still socialising, still had a focus to get up in the morning and weren\u2019t as stressed because they were having those interactions.\u201d<\/p> <p>On the prospect of filming more documenarties, Moffatt said there are \u201cloads\u201d she would want to do and that \u201cthe list is endless\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>She continued: \u201cI really enjoyed making this one because it was close to my heart and I feel like when you can relate to people, they know that whenever you\u2019re asking difficult questions, there is no malice in it and no pre-judgement because you\u2019ve been there yourself.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLater on in my career I\u2019d like to tackle things that maybe haven\u2019t affected me personally, but I think while I\u2019m still becoming a newfound member of the Louis Theroux &amp; Stacey Dooley club, I would like to focus on things I can relate to. All of this is a learning curve and making a documentary was much more difficult than I thought so I\u2019ve still got some learning to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Britain\u2019s Tourette\u2019s Mystery: Scarlett Moffatt Investigates<\/strong><strong> airs Tuesday 19th July on Channel 4 at 10pm.
