Jessica Kellgren-Hayes
Age:19
From:Bristol
Height:5'9"
Occupation:Student
Disability:HNPP & ME
Jessica shares a 300-year old haunted house (alright, it's really a converted hotel) in the middle of a wood in Bristol with her mum, dad, younger brother and a Bichon Frisé named Walter.
Two years ago, Jess lost all sensation and movement in her arms and discovered that she has a hereditary disorder which makes you extremely susceptible to injuries. As a consequence, Jess wears splints on her wrists, but treats them as a fashion accessory.
While Jess's disabilities don't mean that she needs to use a wheelchair all the time (although she was once a full-time wheelchair user for five months), she likes having one because it means you have a guaranteed seat anywhere you go.
Jess goes to college locally to study towards an BTEC National Diploma in Art and Design, which involves fashion. But her true lifelong dreams are to be a princess or a Blue Peter presenter.
