A contestant on Channel Ten's new craft show Making It Australia revealed that he has been diagnosed with early onset Parkinson's on Wednesday's episode.
Dan Deleur - who is just 38 - made the heartbreaking revelation to hosts Susie Youssef and Harley Breen, while he was crafting a day bed for him and his wife Kai to enjoy as part of the show's 'happy place' challenge.
After being asked about his creation, Dan said: 'This is an escape for me and my wife. Long story short, I'm supposed to be slowing down, but against the wishes of my neurologist I don't do that.'

After Susie asked him why he was seeing a neurologist, he responded: 'I'm seeing a neurologist because I have been diagnosed with early onset Parkinson's disease.'
'You're a young guy?' Susie said in disbelief.
'Yes - because of age factor and limited other symptoms, it wasn't really picked up. But my right hand couldn't write an invoice,' he replied.
