Rick Edwards: I've lost my sense of smell

T4 presenter sniffed pure ammonia at school

Rick Edwards' other senses work fine

Rick Edwards hasn't been able to smell properly since his teens.

‘I sniffed pure ammonia in a science lesson when I was 14,’ he explains.

‘It was extraordinarily painful and I haven’t been able to smell since.'

But the T4 presenter, 29, hopes the sense will come back eventually.

‘For a few years after that incident I couldn’t smell anything,' he says.

'But now if I sniff at something up close I can smell it.'
