'Stambassador' Sam Bagshaw documents living with a stammer on Tiktok

A man from Sheffield who raises awareness as a 'stambassador' has been documenting living with his stammer on social media.

Sam Bagshaw was born with a stammer. He posts videos of his daily life and interactions on TikTok.

His account has seen a boost in popularity to a point where he now has more than 300,000 followers.

He said: "I didn't know anyone at school that had a stammer like me so I didn't understand it that much when I was younger."

The ambassador for the Action for Stammering Children charity says he wants to show people with stammers that you don't need to be nervous and to push yourself and go out.

Ria Bernard, the CEO of the charity, told ITV News: "Sam is using TikTok to spread awareness and show that stammering doesn't need to define you, doesn't hold you back."

Sam will run the Brighton marathon next year to raise money for the charity.

His grandma said: "I know a lot of people know that have stammers but it's not affected them too much in their life, and you've (Sam) done alright."
