Loose Women star Sophie Morgan has appealed for help with finding her wheelchair attachment after someone stole it from her car.
The TV presenter, who was paralysed in a car accident aged 18, shared about the heartless thieves on social media.
Writing on Twitter, the disability campaigner said: “My mobility car has been broken into & my wheelchair attachment, called a Batec, has been stolen. It will have NO value to anyone but a manual wheelchair user. I’m heartbroken. If anyone saw/sees anything around Camden, London. Pls report it. A small black suitcase was also taken.”

“[The wheelchair has] some kind of electrical fault, it’s not connecting when I turn the key and so what does that tell you? It’s been manhandled.”
She added that she was “speechless”.
