Mushy made a huge impact on the nation over a decade ago when he appeared on the Channel 4 docuseries Educating Yorkshire. At the time, Mushy was struggling to overcome a severe stammer. His inspirational teacher, Mr Burton, suggested a method used in The King's Speech - listening to music while rehearsing his lines for his GCSE English oral exam. This technique enabled Mushy to communicate fluently without stammering.
On his 27th birthday, Mushy took to Twitter to reminisce on his time on the show and thank everyone for their continuous support. He wrote, “I am so fortunate to live life sharing the power of teachers. I am proud to be someone who stammers, something one teacher helped me to accept in the classroom.”
In a heartwarming moment, Mushy reunited with Mr Burton on Good Morning Britain. Mr Burton said he was “incredibly proud” of Mushy’s achievements and that moments like this “happen in classrooms every single day.” Mushy thanked his teachers, saying he wouldn’t be where he is today without their support and help to “embrace who I truly was.”
Today, Mushy is a broadcast journalism graduate and works as a journalist and keynote speaker. Educating Yorkshire was the second series of the Channel 4 Educating franchise, based on the Bafta award-winning series Educating Essex. It continues to touch hearts and minds even after 11 years since its first broadcast in 2013.
It's clear that Mushy's story has left a lasting impression on many. His incredible transformation from a young student struggling with a speech impediment to the man he is today has been an inspiration to many. He continues to share the power of teachers and remains proud of his stammer.
