When she was a teenager, Sophie, 38, was paralysed in a car crash. Today, she is all about creating a more equitable experience for disabled people. She has been voted one of the most influential disabled people in the U.K. and as one of the first female television presenters in the world with a physical
disability, Sophie is radically changing the representation of disability on TV. Most recently joining ITV’s Loose Women as a panellist, she is best known for presenting the London 2012, Rio 2016, and Tokyo 2020 Paralympics. Sophie also fronts her own Channel 4 travel series "Living Wild: How to Change your Life”, reports on hard-hitting current affairs documentaries such as Dispatches and Unreported World, presents consumer series such as Luxury for Less & Tricks of the Restaurant Trade and broadcasts live events such as Crufts and the world para sports championships.
