Ashley Young: How I was born without a right arm and became a model

Point of View is an ITV News series where we invite people to share their life experiences and what they've learned from them.

Imagine a model agency not for the tallest or thinnest human beings but for those who were born with a missing limb, or have had an amputation because of an accident or illness.

Then imagine a photoshoot which draws you in and makes you appreciate that everyone should be encouraged to feel confident about how they look.

Ashley Young was born without a right arm but, with the help of Zebedee Models, was able to pursue her dream.
