Sportsman Harry Redknapp, who is appearing on Celebrity Sabotage this weekend (April 18), revealed he’s been suffering from hearing loss during an appearance on This Morning last month (March 10) with his wife, Sandra.
The married couple appeared on the ITV daytime show, where Harry expressed excitement to have embarked on another jungle experience for the South Africa series after winning I’m A Celebrity in 2018.
Harry Redknapp reveals fresh health diagnosis on This Morning
The interview took an unexpected turn when host Ben Shephard mentioned that he hadn’t seen Harry for a while and brought up his recent diagnosis with his hearing.
Explaining how he realised his hearing had gone down, Harry said he took a visit to Specsavers for his eyesight. However, his wife was also concerned for his ears.
“I’ll be honest Ben, when I really noticed it, it was when I was driving the car. You know when your indicators make a clicking noise? Suddenly, I thought all these blokes must know me. They were all going past, sticking fingers up to me! They must be all Arsenal fans, all shouting!” he said.
Clarifying that he was leaving his indicators on, Harry admitted it was “dangerous” and “couldn’t hear them clicking”.
“It could have caused accidents,” he said.
Wife Sandra had her concerns
Sandra noticed something was up with Harry’s hearing when she had to start “shouting” when speaking to him. She explained that Harry would accuse her of “whispering”.
“If we went out for dinner, and there was a group of people, I could sense he wasn’t hearing the conversation and joining in,” Sandra continued.
After having a hearing aid fitted, Harry said he has noticed a big difference. “It’s been great, much better. And you can’t even see them!” he added.
