Influencer Patsy Field will become the latest disabled contestant to star on Love Island, MailOnline announced this week.
The Londoner, 25, was born with Erb’s palsy, which developed during her traumatic birth at Lewisham hospital.
Patsy has told how she was supposed to be born by caesarean section, but doctors made the crucial mistake of allowing her to give birth naturally, resulting in a defect she has had to overcome her entire life.
The condition means her right arm is shorter and cannot function as well as her left. Patsy admits she has felt “self-conscious” but has learned to embrace it as she grows into adulthood.
She follows in the footsteps of Tasha Ghouri, the first deaf islander to star in the ITV2 dating series, visually impaired Ron Hall, and clubfoot native Hugo Hammond.
She explained her condition on social media, saying: ‘One thing you guys don’t know about me is that I have a disability. I’ve never talked about it here before because I’m honestly a little unsure about it.
The Londoner was born with Erb’s palsy, which developed during her traumatic birth at Lewisham hospital
‘It is a disability that I have literally had since birth. All my close friends and family know about it.
“Pretty much everyone says they don’t notice it, or they’ve never noticed it before, but if I tell you to go back and look through my old videos, you’ll be able to see it.
‘So the disability affects my right arm, I was a normal, happy, healthy baby in my mother’s womb and the hospital screwed up and gave me a disability, Lewisham hospital, you f***ers.
‘I should have given birth by caesarean section, but the midwife thought she could do it and she couldn’t… I was such a big baby, I weighed almost 4.5 kilos, a normal baby weighs about 2, 5 kilos. I got stuck coming out of my mother… and they’re pulling and pulling and pulling and while they’re ripping me out, they’ve done some damage.
“They broke the nerve that sends messages from my brain through my spine to my right arm, trying to send messages, and this computer says no.
‘As a result I have a disability called Erb’s Palsy and my arm has never grown that much and it doesn’t actually do anything, they are completely different lengths.’
