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

A year ago, broadcaster Clemency Burton-Hill, who is known for presenting on Â鶹ԼÅÄ Radio 3 and the Â鶹ԼÅÄ 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 Â鶹ԼÅÄ Radio 4's Woman's Hour presenter Emma Barnett about how it felt to understand everyone but not be able to reply.
