Gogglebox's Sue Sheehan has opened up about her diagnosis with Bell's palsy. Sue, alongside her husband Steve from South London, returned to the show in tonight's (December 13) episode after a brief absence. She shared her experience with the condition, which leads to temporary weakness or paralysis of facial muscles.
