Sport star Graeme Souness gave a major update on fighting a “devil disease” on Friday. The star appeared on Good Morning Britain to chat to hosts Charlotte Hawkins and Robert Rinder after completing a 59-mile relay swim across the English Channel to Calais and back.
He had been raising money for a cause close to his heart, but was spurred on by 16-year-old Isla Grist. She is living with epidermolysis bullosa (EB) – a rare and very painful genetic skin condition, often referred to as “butterfly skin”. Graeme, who will be 72 in just four days, shared that he is on a mission to raise money and awareness of the condition – which he previously described as a “devil disease”.

Speaking about the illness on GMB, Graeme became emotional as he explained: “This is a horrendous condition.” He pointed to Isla’s bandaged hands as he continued: “You can see Isla’s hands, but that’s all over her body.”
He went on to explain: “I get emotional when I am in her company. She is a very special young lady and it makes me realise, you know I’ve got children, it makes you realise how lucky we all are.”
Speaking about the illness on a previous episode of Good Morning Britain, Graeme said: “It’s beyond belief, it really is. You would think that this disease was sent by the devil himself.” He added: “There’s no help right now,” he shared. “There’s nothing we can do for them right now. This is their life. Every waking moment, this is their life.”
