“I was so confused, I didn’t even know what was happening or anything. But when I had a Hearts doctor looking after me, someone had said ‘what’s Hearts’ and I just said ‘Hearts are s**t’.
“It just came to me, I was so happy that I spoke out, everyone laughed. It felt so good to just hear my own voice again.”
