A fashion model says that people with disabilities are "being completely shunned" from the industry.

Chelsey Jay has Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (PoTS), which causes sufferers to pass out when they stand.

Jay, a member of the ‘Models of Diversity’ group, said she went from being seen "everywhere" to "literally nowhere" after diagnosis.

"It was almost as if essentially because I sit down my identity has been stripped away from me," she added.
