Access All: Disability News and Mental Health

The disabled woman who hired a sex worker


Listen Later

Aged 43, Melanie had never had sex. After a suggestion from her support worker, all this changed. She went online and found Chayse, a sex worker who was able to sensitively meet her needs. In an extended interview, Melanie and Chayse reveal how they went from spending an hour together to overnight stays. He's now helping her to find love through dating which she's relieved about because the escort business is expensive!

Disability minister and all-action-hero Tom Pursglove ruffled the feathers of disabled Twitter-users this week after being filmed on a dawn raid of alleged benefit fraudsters. Nikki and Emma discuss. And when we say film, we mean Hollywood, baby.
