She previously called for more awareness of disabilities after finding that there wasn't a great deal of representation on TV and urged parents to better educate their children on the matter.She said: "said: “Now that age are kind of alien to wheelchairs, disability, because it’s not on TV, you can’t just turn on your TV and see someone with disability anymore. It feels we have taken a step back.“I get a lot of children who point at me or ask their mums ‘Why’s that lady in a pushchair? How can they not know it’s a wheelchair?“I’m slightly embarrassed because they have noticed me, although it’s good they are being inquisitive. But when parents are automatically ‘I don’t know’, that’s not educating your child. Say: ‘That lady has a disability. Her legs don’t work properly that’s why she’s sitting in a wheelchair, it’s not a push chair, there’s no one pushing her around. She is independent just like you and me."Article continues below* Follow Mirror Celebs and TV on TikTok , Snapchat , Instagram , Twitter , Facebook , YouTube and Threads .
