A campaigner from Northern Ireland is calling for greater representation of people with visible differences on TV after a poll found that only one-third of people can recall seeing someone who looked different on our screens.
Mel Grimsley from Co Fermanagh was involved in a car fire when she was two years old which left her with severe burns, and has been struggling with PTSD from the incident, which can be triggered by people's reactions to her appearance.
Despite this, Mel has recently graduated with a Masters from Ulster University having written her dissertation on discrimination law and facial difference, now she is campaigning for more people who look like her to be given visibility in the media.
