Ellie Simmonds: “Strictly gave me confidence”
The Access All team were shocked when Ellie Simmonds left this year’s season of Strictly Come Dancing – the first person with dwarfism to compete on the show.
But the dancing competition’s loss is this episode’s gain, as Ellie chats all things representation, ballroom, skydiving and her plans for the future.
Why do we only ever hear about disabled dating, and never about long-term relationships? Presenters Nikki Fox and Emma Tracey talk about their experiences, plus provide some tips and advice.
Billionaire Elon Musk might have bought Twitter, but he also reportedly sacked half of its staff including the entire accessibility team. So what does this mean for disabled people? BBC Click’s Paul Carter and accessibility consultant Leonie Watson help us make sense of a wild week in social media.
Producers: Keiligh Baker, Amy Elizabeth and Emma Tracey
Recording / mixing: Dave O'Neill
Series editor: Beth Rose
Senior News Editor: Jonathan Aspinwall
