Had You Seen Carolyne From the Undateables On Dancing On Wheels?

April 12, 2012

Readers, did you know that Carolyne from The Undateables was a contestant in BBC Three’s Dancing On Wheels in 2010? I was on holiday when Dancing On Wheels was screened and have never seen it, so I didn’t know this until I read it on the BBC Ouch blog today.

Strangely, though, after watching The Undateables on Tuesday night, Carolyne’s was the story that stayed with me. She’s a blonde, beautiful wheelchair user whose childhood sweetheart left her four years ago after a ten year relationship because she became paralysed five years ago and, she thinks, “he found it difficult seeing me in my chair.”  As a disabled woman who would like to think she knows what love is, I strongly disliked him as soon as I heard this!

Ouch says Carolyne was eliminated in the first round of Dancing On Wheels– here’s hoping she has better luck this time with reality TV.

What are you thinking?
