The actress was diagnosed with the rare connective tissue disorder, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, after graduating from Arden School of Theatre in Manchester at the age of 23. She has been confined to a wheelchair ever since, but it doesn’t hinder her passion for acting.
The actress has been safeguarding at home for the entire COVID-19 pandemic due to health concerns.
The “Coronation Street” series is aimed at raising Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) Awareness in the UK. Cherylee is the first character with a disability in the soap that appeared in 2010. Leaving a remarkable impression, she was nominated for Best Newcomer at the 2010 Inside Soap Awards.

They started with the motto “To Never Leave Anyone Behind” with the goal of giving access to young and adult budding performers with disabilities. The company is working to change how society perceives such artists/performers in the industry.
