Francesca Martinez on life with Cerebral Palsy

I'm not brain damaged, I'm wobbly!

Francesca Martinez

Comedienne and actress Francesca Martinez was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy when she was two years old and her parents were told that she would never lead a 'normal' life.

After having a tough time at high school, Francesca says she felt 'saved' when she won a part in Grange Hill aged 14. Now, as an adult with a successful television career, she's written a book about living with the condition and wants the disability to be accepted rather than discriminated.

She joins us alongside Dr Dawn Harper whose teenage son has Cerebral Palsy to explain the condition.
