Eleven-year-old with cerebral palsy walks catwalk at London Fashion Week

Eleven-year-old Katie walked the catwalk at London Fashion Week, just a year after taking her very first steps unaided.

Katie has cerebral palsy and has been in a wheelchair for most of her life. She's had multiple operations in recent years to straighten her feet and legs.

Katie said walking down the catwalk was β€œso much fun” and that her friends are really happy for her. She told 5 Live’s Tony Livesey and Anna Foster that she wants to carry on modelling.

Her mum Clare said Katie β€œwanted to be a model from when she was very little”.
