Meet the paralyzed beauty who made her catwalk debut in a wheelchair

A paralyzed air hostess has recently made her modelling debut in a wheelchair after rare illness left her unable to walk or talk.

Gemma Flanagan, had just returned from a stopover in Las Vegas when she suddenly collapsed and became unable to move, speak or even swallow, the Daily Star reported.

The 31-year-old said that people think sexy and disability don't go together, that it was not possible to look sexy and glamorous in a wheelchair but she wanted to show that it was possible, all it takes was a fair chance.

Becoming a model and getting involved in the show has really helped her come to terms with the condition, she further added.
