Sophie Morgan

TV Presenter, Producer, Writer and Advocate

Judges Choice

I’m one of the first and only female wheelchair users to be a TV personality in the UK (and globally). I front the Paralympics, make documentaries such as Dispatches and Unreported World, present live events such as Crufts and have my own prime time travel show as well as a regular panelist on ITV’s Loose Women.

I have recently co-founded a media company called Making Space which launched in August with a first-look deal with Reese Witherspoon’s company, Hello Sunshine with whom I am co-producing a documentary for Channel 4, set to air next year, about my fight for disability rights. It is the first disabled-led company of its kind.

I also recently launched a campaign called Rights On Flights, calling on the UK Government to increase enforcement powers for disabled flyers, to which they have responded and legal reform is imminent. The campaign has gone global and I was invited to visit the White House to discuss how the UK and US can combine forces, with events now being planned in the House of Commons and White House this autumn. RoF plans to revise the legislation on accessible air travel and set a new standard.
