Just spoke to my brother.
He said that during his shift at a theatre bar yesterday, a woman paid with her Apple Watch.
She extended her arm across the bar to connect with the card machine.
Brother didn’t realise and thought she was going in for a fist pump.
I can’t cope 😂

After speaking on

on Friday, I was sent this by a lady who follows me on Instagram.
This is a video of the moment her little girl who has an arm like me, saw me on TV.

Last week I cried on a train.
Just felt tired &overwhelmed.
@VirginTrains
manager Majid came over & gently asked if I was ok. Offered me tea, said he would sit with me if I wanted or if not, he would be nearby.
Later, he checked I could get home ok. Can we all be a bit more Majid

As disabled actors we’re -
Not asking for favours.
Not asking for special treatment.
Not saying we’re “offended”.
We are simply asking for a place at the table, and when we’re allowed to play ALL the roles, we’ll pipe down about non disabled actors playing disabled parts.

I’m quite a confident person.
But the couple on the table next to us last night, who whispered, pointed at me, laughed so loud that others looked around, then mimicked my arm, made me feel so small.
This isn’t a sympathy status.
Just reminding people how much it hurts.

THIS IS EMMA.
Without her assistance, I wouldn’t have been able to do Celebrity Masterchef.
I get severe pain/weakness in my hand so my mate Emma came along for the ride & supported my independence.
This is access. This is inclusion.
This is change.

I used to hate my body because of my arm. It took years to get to a place where I could celebrate it. I hope our next generation of young people with limb differences never feel the pressure to hide away but celebrate everything that makes them different.

Why missing fingers??
Here we go again...
Using disability as a costume and to highlight a character as a “baddie”.
Children with limb differences rarely get to see themselves represented truthfully. But instead get shown as scary monsters?
Not what we need 😑

Found my arm from 10 yrs ago.
I hated wearing them but had it made just for drama school.
I remember saying to mum “I need one made. I might only get roles if I have 2 arms”
Advice to younger self -
You never needed two arms kid. You’ll do just fine with one💜

Today 2 children saw my arm. They were terrified &hid their faces into their mum. One on the verge of tears. They didn't understand because they don't see disability in Books, TV, Films & Adverts. Let's KEEP changing that. It's not nice to be seen as scary. What can you do?👇🏼

So bloody humbled & shocked to be long listed/suggested for a BAFTA for supporting actress as Hannah in LIFE. Lots of amazing actors on that list so chances of going any further aren’t high but with a lifetime of fighting behind me, I’ll take this little (huge for me!) victory 💜

What a decade✨
2010 - My daily mantra was “Face the other way, hide arm, keep it a secret. Then I’ll be just like “everyone else”.
2019 - Facing head on, no turning away and not trying to desperately hide something that means I’m not like “everyone else” 💜

Taught Ned to sit by the door every time he comes in from the garden so that we can wipe his paws✅
Yesterday we wiped the front two paws, realised they weren’t wet so walked away. Noticed he wasn’t following us. He refused to move until we’d wiped all 4 paws.
I can’t cope 😭

Just one thing. Please stop saying "Oh, I don't see you as disabled" like we should be grateful for the acceptance.
We ARE disabled & ignorance towards that is hurtful. Embrace it! It's not dirty word! The world has made you think it's dirty! It ain't & we're proud

When someone says
"Ahh well I don't see you as disabled" along with a reassuring smile 😌
No! I don't mind you seeing my disability. It's part of who I am. The problem ISN'T with calling us disabled.
The problem is thinking that disabled is a dirty word!

Don’t tell me to accept & embrace a body I was taught to hate.
I wasn’t born hating the body I had.
I was told it was disgusting, that I should be sad.

Hits you randomly & bloomin hurts.
My thoughts are with anyone struggling with grief, especially in the lead up to Christmas.
When the expectation is to be happy but there's a spotlight on what's missing 💔
Remember it won't always feel like this✨

It can get tough running an organisation and fighting for change alongside being actors, writers, directors, creatives. But having a whole room listen fuels our fire even more.
"What would next year's BAFTAs look like if every single person in this room tonight made a pledge, a pledge to put us on the agenda, to put us on every single agenda and for the first time in our industry's history, put disability centre stage." -

There’s a phrase we use in the disabled community -
“nothing about us without us”.
We’re undoing years of being told the industry isn’t for us.
We’re driving a movement that allows us in the room.

I used to hate the stares from strangers. Loath them. Then I learned
that staring back at the actual problem was better than cowering away. Empowering even.
So now, I try to hold the gaze of pity, confusion, sympathy & ableism for as long as I can. Maybe then it’ll change

One year.
Last summer was crazy. Single in my 30’s after 8 years, selling my house, staying in hotels/spare rooms, busy schedules, a wild flurry of dates 👀
And then… there was you.
On a day I least expected it.
I never knew it could feel like this.
Thank you. Love you ❤️

Being single after nearly 8 years is definitely different to last time.
Lad on a date -
“You know you’re on a foot fetish website”
🙃👍🏼
Makes more sense than a hand fetish site I suppose 🙄
Happy Sunday kids.

In early 80's, my dad (Romani Gypsy) snuck out to a gorger (Non Gypsy) disco in the next town. At the party, he met a girl. A gorger girl. Relationships like this were frowned upon.
They fell in love. Ignored the crap. That girl is my mama.
Today they've been married for 30 years

The last time we did a tech rehearsal for SNATCHED was 18 months ago.
Half way through we were told that all U.K. theatres would be closing that night and the show wouldn’t go ahead.
Tomorrow SNATCHED gets its first audience at a private industry sharing
Here we go kids 💃💜

For someone so superstitious, opening my show on Friday 13th was a questionable choice.

Oh I just love how this industry works (most of the time 😂)
Waiting for my driver to pick me up from home (Manchester) and take me to London for filming on a new show this week... and who turns up at my door!? Only bloody Andy!!
My driver from Grantchester!
What a delight!

Hey Scarlett, guess who else SHOULD be allowed to play ANY character...
• Disabled actors
• Black actors
• Asian actors
• Working class actors
List goes on.
But we aren't allowed! & have to fight our arses off to even scratch the surface! Maybe you could help?

The way that we broadcast stories on disability needs to change.
Please can we stop assuming the thoughts and feelings of disabled people. I can’t express how much it would change the way society views it/us if we stopped the negativity👇🏼

Here's to those who struggle in heat like this as wearing less clothes means revealing a body they don't accept,like or love. Battling hating your body &having people say "take your jumper off" can be damaging. Anyone that relates, I promise it gets better.Little steps & self❤️
