“It has been terribly challenging for us,” he said.

“I had to have surgery on my neck which screwed all my nerves.”

Sharon added: “It’s Parkin 2 which is a form of Parkinson’s. There are so many different types of Parkinson’s.

“It’s not a death sentence by any stretch of the imagination but it does effect the nerves in your body.

“It’s like you’ll have a good day, then a good day and then a really bad day.”

Ozzy added: “A year ago I was in a terrible state. I’m on a host of medication, mainly for the surgery.

“I’ve got numbness down this arm and my legs are going cold. I don’t know if it’s the Parkinson’s or what. That’s the problem.”

The couple will travel to Switzerland to seek medical advice from a professor who specialises in Parkinson’s.

“We’re going to go wherever we can go to find answers,” Sharon said.

Ozzy added: “We’re lucky we can afford to do that.”
