💫 TRAILER 💫
The Cockroach by Mary Pat Bentel, shot in USA last year.

A job that had my heart ❤️
And that gave me chance to explore the frustration & upset I once felt about my own body when the world we live in told me for so long that it was ugly, unworthy & wrong.

A gorgeous wrap on Grantchester series 10 💜

The show that has my heart.

Thank you for letting a badass disabled woman exist in a 1960’s man’s world for the last 5 seasons!

It’s really quite wonderful.

Apart from the usual “please can we drop the Coronation Street headline tag” and that OK! weren’t actually invited to/weren’t at the wedding 👀
But… DID do a lovely interview whilst I was in Sicily…

This article is a really special read for us 💜💫

It says something about how few visibly disabled actors have regular series roles that I assumed digital trickery might be involved with Grantchester's Melissa Johns (I'm also used to seeing prosthetics). Good on the show for letting her be a regular-and quite charming-character.
