Dr. Tijon Esho appeared on the show to discuss excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, a condition that affects between one and three people in every 100 and is characterised by the extreme production of watery sweat which can occur in any area of the body.

"I tend to sweat, it's the way I am!" exclaimed Gethin, before Dr. Esho assured him: " Sweating is normal, it's the way we regulate our body temperature."
