A man from Guernsey has become an internet sensation after posting TikToks about his Tourette's syndrome. 

Glen Cooney has amassed more than 250,000 followers on the platform - and over three million likes. 

TikTok allows users to create and share short videos of around 15 seconds, usually of themselves and often in a lip sync format.

Glen and his family share videos of them doing fun activities, including making slime and cooking. 

Tourettes syndrome is a neurological condition which causes involuntary and uncontrollable sounds and movements known as tics. You can find out more here.
