Andrew Latham, 38 suffers from a rare neurological disorder - which means he is literally scared stiff. We’ve all been startled by a sudden noise, but whenever he is taken by surprise his reaction is far more extreme. Andrew has hyperekplexia – a neurological syndrome that stops his brain from suppressing shock. As a result, his whole body tenses whenever he hears fireworks, dogs barking, or even someone coughing. He has suffered with the crippling condition since birth and was subjected to vile bullying at school – with classmates constantly making noises to make him jump.
Andrew's story will appear in a new series of Body Bizarre, which airs every Thursday at 9pm on TLC
