After winning the Strictly Come Dancing in 2016, Joanne Clifton is so hit by arthritis that she cannot get off the car without aid.
She revealed that she was diagnosed with osteoarthritis on both knees, a year before winning the event, and was in so much pain.
She recalled breaking down in tears after being told that the cartilage on both knees has eroded and she might need a knee replacement soon.
Osteoarthritis reportedly affects millions of adults in the UK, with the median age where initial signs begin to manifest, starting at 40 years old, and the body part affected being mostly the knee.
