'Talent' champ Sampson has spine conditionGeorge Sampson has told The Sun that he suffers from a rare spine condition that caused him to lose his sight in one eye last year. George said:-

“The eye was all inflamed. The spinal nerves were trapped and it affected my optic nerves”

The winner of ’Britains got talent’ addmited that he has Scheuermann’s disease which is a curvature of the spine.

“I lost all my coordination and it was really hard to dance, as I didn’t have my balance. I kept bumping into everything. There were a few times when I panicked that my eyesight wouldn’t come back.”

Doctors say that if he keeps on break dancing that it could leave him crippled. The 14 year old had this to say:-

 ”there’s no way I’d ever give up dancing. Nothing would stop me.”
