Help

Making it big in the music industry is hard enough but what if you also had a condition which left you unable to leave the house for two years?

Singer Jemma Pixie Hixon, who is 20, has agoraphobia which is a marked fear of open spaces or crowds.

Despite her condition more than 2 million people have watched her perform after she turned her bedroom into a home studio and published videos on YouTube.

She has spoken to BBC Breakfast about her experiences.
