The mum of a teenage Liverpool FC model has said she has faced 'negativity' and 'hushed whispers' over the years.
Jessica Williams, who has Down's Syndrome, has already accomplished more in just 18 years than some people manage in a lifetime. Already a model and actress, with a love of thrilling sports like rock climbing, horse-riding and canoeing.
Her proud mum Nicola Houghton, 42, said: "I've always relied on Jessica to take the lead. I'm not going to let anybody tell her what she can and can't do. She has always been a strong self-advocate for people with Down's Syndrome."
