A toddler with a one-in-a-million genetic disorder lives in constant darkness after the condition left him allergic to SUNLIGHT. Freddie Mason-Perkins was born with Trichothiodystrophy (TTD) which means that if the 19-month-old is exposed to sunlight his skin will burn. The condition also means his skin's cells are unable to repair themselves so Freddie is at high risk of developing infections. The condition means his mum Carlie has to keep the curtains at their home Northampton drawn at all times.
