Rosie Jones has cerebral palsy and shared her experience of being ‘left in the road’ late at night by an Uber driver who mistook her disability for being drunk. The comedian, 31, has recently been seen on-screen in Casualty and navigating her way around the country for Channel 4, in Trip Hazard: My Great British Adventure. She’s also given the UK Government a grilling while appearing on Question Time and has thousands of followers online. However, she used her online platform to share an upsetting experience, which happened whilst she was trying to make her way home earlier this week.
