'Speech was my thing and then I couldn't do it'

A year ago, broadcaster Clemency Burton-Hill, who is known for presenting on ±«Óãtv Radio 3 and the ±«Óãtv Proms, collapsed with a brain bleed.

She ended up being in a coma for 17 days. When she woke up, she couldn’t speak or move.

In her first broadcast interview since the incident, she spoke to ±«Óãtv Radio 4's Woman's Hour presenter Emma Barnett about how it felt to understand everyone but not be able to reply.
