they should hang their heads in shame. not seen the lass myself but good on her not to hide away and why should she. at least she can see for herself the huge support she does have rather than just the negativity.
i wonder how these parents, that have objected, see a child with a disability on tv?

The parents that complained should be ashamed! Their kids are going to grow up with a rose tinted glasses on if they wrap them in cotton wool like that! I went to school with two people who had deformities due to the drug Thalidomide, and because we were so young we just accepted them for who they were. What better way to educate a young child not to think of a disabled person as 'different' or 'scary'.

That's shocking. Bloody fools, if she's good at her job, she should keep it.

I know a student with no arms who doesn't let it stop her partying out on a heaving dancefloor. It shocked me the looks she'd get while boogying, from both lads and lasses, I just don't understand why people can't admire these people for getting on with their lives instead of passing judgement! They show courage and determination and deserve the utmost respect as far as I'm concerned.

Good on this presenter and shame on people for complaining, she shouldn't have to deal with that

what about rick allen, thousands of fans. dont ever recall a hardcore rocker looking horrified at what they saw.
shallow people!!!!!!

It's truely disturbing what bullsh!t some people will complain about. It's more likely that the parents feel akward when watching as they obviously have such narrow minds that they can not accept someone with a disability doing better in life than they are.

I second that the parents should all grow a pair and explain to the kids that life isn't always perfect

Non of my kids have seen Cbeebies on the TV since we had Sky installed. So meh...

But following keith's comments, I had to google her. She's not bad, but not as good as keith makes out.

If the BBC sack her, at least she should have an open & closed discrimination case. If they shunt her forcibly to another job life could be more difficult for her though.

Hopefully nothing will change for her though.

This is not the first time The Jeremy Kyle Show has faced complaints over swearing. Last summer, ITV aired a Scotsman using the 'C' word because censors could not understand his accent.

Another parent wrote: "Is it just me, or does anyone else think the new woman presenter on CBeebies may scare the kids because of her disability?"

They know they are in the wrong but still seek affirmation.

Don't think Xenophobic is the right word tho'
