Comedian Shappi Khorsandi appeared on ITV's Lorraine to discuss her new book Scatter Brain, which delves into her life story and how a belated ADHD diagnosis turned her life around
Shappi Khorsandi appeared on ITV's Lorraine on Thursday, 29 August, to talk about her new book Scatter Brain, which delves into her life story and how a belated ADHD diagnosis turned her life around. During their chat, host Ranvir Singh, who is standing in for usual host Lorraine Kelly, brought up Shappi's shoplifting history - which she writes about in her book - leaving the comedian feeling a touch embarrassed.
Her memoir is strikingly honest about her tendency to shoplift, revealing the compulsion she felt to take things that weren't hers. The star was caught off guard by Ranvir's thorough preparation and knowledge of her book, as she said: "You also then started stealing, even though you are incredibly polite, you then started stealing and it got progressively... you were not just stealing little from friends here and there... 50p here, a crayon there...
"Like when I was kid I didn't have access to alcohol and drugs so shoplifting gave me that dopamine hit," she explained. The comedian went on to explain how recognising her ADHD changed her whole world. "I don't shout anymore. You can ask my kids, I never shout and I'm much more calm than I have ever been," she continued. When asked if she was on medication, Shappi said: "I am but I am very clear in the book that is not the be-all and end-all."
