It's great that @bbcstrictly have a paralympian on the show this year, but it's important that accessibility is carried throughout your practices, and the @BBC failed my mums deeply at the recording last week.
My mum is a wheelchair user. This is what happened. #Strictly2019

I'd been trying to get them tickets for years, and I finally got two wheelchair tickets for the first live show. They were so excited! They called the ticket providers about access, and were assured that everything was in hand, they were on the list and would be looked after.
They booked two nights away, and arrived at Elstree the morning of the show. But they didn't have them down as reserved tickets, despite them having wheelchair tickets. Their names were not on the list. The people there were lovely in trying to help, but the stress was immense.
