If you haven’t noticed already today is Valentine's Day, a date many singletons love to hate.
But, for people living with a disability, securing even a first date can be a challenge because of misconceptions about what it will be like to go out with a disabled person.
According to a recent survey by the disability charity Scope, nearly 7 out of 10 people said they feel excluded from the dating world due to their disability.
Paige Tabone has cerebral palsy and took part in the show Undateables, but after being unlucky in love on the show, she found love after signing up to a dating website. She says she feels dating with a disability needs to become a more mainstream conversation.
