Lewis, who was diagnosed with Gilles de la Tourette after doctors noticed his uncontrollable shoulder twitches, also discussed being a hypochondriac.
Hypochondriasis causes patients to feel extreme anxiety about their health, including worrying that they are or may become seriously ill.
The Scottish singer said: ‘I’ve always been a hypochondriac. I’ve been obsessed, if there’s something wrong with me, I’m like, “F**k, I’m going to die.”
“I went to a therapist and she said, ‘Don’t you think that has anything to do with the fact that your grandmother and your aunt both died when you were three and four, within a year.’
