Lilli Risner
Age:20
From:London
Height:5'5"
Occupation:TV interpreter
Disability:Deaf

Lilli lives in a London flat with her best friend, Naomi. They met through their jobs at See Hear, the BBC's long-running series for deaf and hard of hearing viewers, where Lilli has been a presenter for the past ten years. In fact, Lilli has worked in TV since she was just nine years old!

Lilli was born profoundly deaf, which means that she cannot hear anything at all. She's very good at lip reading though, just as long as she can see your lips.

She loves going clubbing with her friends and meeting new people - because if there is loud music playing, no one else can hear either.

Lilli is an only child and has a very close relationship with her mum. She also has a large group of friends.
