Musharaf "Mushy" Asghar : The Educating Yorkshire Moment That Changed His Life
Mushy captured the hearts of millions on Channel 4’s Educating Yorkshire, when his teacher Matthew Burton helped him overcome his fear of speaking and deliver an unforgettable speech in front of his school.
Musharaf joins Victoria Derbyshire to look back at the moment that changed his life, from developing a stammer as a child and facing bullying at school to finding his voice, becoming an unexpected television star and learning to accept the part of himself he once desperately wanted to change.
He also reveals what life was really like after Educating Yorkshire, how he continued working on his speech away from the cameras, and why his relationship with his stammer today is very different from when we first met him at 16.
