I sound like I've swallowed a clock

Tick, tick, tick…. No it’s not the crocodile in Peter Pan, it’s Shelly Riley. The only woman in the world who ticks when she breathes….

Shelly has always ticked. At school she was teased and even ordered out of an exam. Her partner Stuart says its like sleeping next to a ticking time bomb.
Shelly is the only person in the WORLD with the condition. Doctors are amazed she's alive at all.
Surgery to repair the tick failed and Shelly, 36, has realised that she will just spend her life sounding like Captain Hook's crocodile.
