💨 Abstract

Denise Black, 67, known for her role as Denise Osbourne in *Coronation Street*, has spoken about facing discrimination in the TV industry due to her weight and disability. Born with a condition affecting her right arm, she was often told she was "too fat" or "too disabled" for television, which impacted her self-esteem. She regrets hiding her condition for years, which worsened her condition.
