Lucy Alexander, 48, regularly speaks out about her daughter, Kitty, who has been in a wheelchair for the past nine years.
The teenager has Transverse Myelitis, which caused her immune system to attack her spinal cord.
And the Homes Under The Hammer star hit out at the accessibility around London for wheelchair users on Twitter, as she replied to someone she follows on the social media site.
Huge Wright commented: “Having a b*****d sprained ankle has made me realise just how little of @tfl is truly ‘step-free’. Where lifts exist at all there are often long walks between them (it’s three lifts & a LOT of walking to get to the Central Line at TCR for example.) It’s exhausting.”
I know how rubbish LONDON is for accessibility

He continued: “‘Step-free’ in most cases seems to just mean ‘no stairs’; hardly ever does it mean you can get from the street to the platform with minimal walking.”
Lucy replied to his post and acknowledged she knows how hard it is for those less abled to get around the city.
She said: “My daughter is a wheelchair user, I know how rubbish LONDON is for accessibility Hugh! Good luck.”
Lucy went on to share a story about accessibility on high streets and said: “Why the high street still isn’t doing enough for customers with disabilities…”
