Loose Women star Sophie Morgan says British Airways paying for broken wheelchair

Loose Women star Sophie Morgan said British Airways will pay for damage to her wheelchair after she flew with the airline.

The 38-year-old told fans on social media that her Batec, an attachment for a wheelchair that turns it into a mobility hand bike, was not working when she picked it up after leaving the plane. Sophie has been a user of a wheelchair since she was 18 after being involved in a car accident that left her paralysed from the chest down.

Taking to her Instagram stories on Saturday, she told fans while fighting back tears: “British Airways have said they are going to pay for any repairs or replacements that I need, because there’s an electric fault that’s happened.
