Dad hits out at trolls for abusing his teenage daughter with Down's Syndrome

On Saturday, Neil Markham wanted to bring some happiness into people’s lives by posting a video of his 16-year-old daughter Ella dancing, after watching her favourite football team Tottenham Hotspur.

Shockingly Neil received hundreds of messages making negative and abusive comments about Ella’s Down Syndrome. Refusing to stay silent, Neil posted his phone number online inviting the trolls to speak to him directly - and the family have since received thousands of messages in support.

He joins us today alongside his daughter Ella to tell us about taking a stand, as he calls for more people to #BeKind
