Like a lot of the country, I’m glued to The Traitors - the new BBC reality tv show hosted by Claudia Winkleman that puts people against each other to root out who is working against them, whilst they manipulate everyone else.
The nature of the show means that tensions are high, but one thing I think the show has highlighted is how we still disregard disabilities and are quick to view disabled traits as inherently bad.
For instance, the first “faithful”, as they’re called, to be cast out was Nicky, a woman who lost her hand in a car accident. Nicky tells us that with the prize money she’d buy a bionic hand, unfortunately she isn’t around long enough for this to be a reality.
