Loose Women star and TV personality Sophie Morgan has shared her heartbreak after her car was broken into for a second time this year meaning she lost a valuable item
Loose Women star Sophie Morgan was left heartbroken after thieves broke into her car and stole valuable items.
The disability campaigner, 38, took to her social media to share that her £4000 wheelchair attachment was among the items taken. Sophie, who is paralysed from the waist down following a car accident, explained the equipment has “no value” to anyone else but her.
Alongside the picture, she wrote: “My car has been broken into AGAIN. It was parked at my friend’s house in Camden, near Regents Park for an HOUR.

“They have taken my WHEELCHAIR ATTACHMENT called a Batec. It is an essential mobility aid worth £4000. It has been stolen along with a small black suitcase filled with personal items such as clothes, shoes etc. of NO VALUE to anyone but me.
“Please, please, if anyone saw anything, please report it to the Police or DM me.” Sophie’s windscreen was completely smashed, as shattered glass surrounded the car.
Earlier this year Sophie was left fuming after her Blue Badge was stolen from her car. She explained her car was broken into whilst she was away working in America in March.
Speaking on the BBC’s disability podcast Access All, Sophie revealed: “I literally can’t describe how disabling this is. I had this rage in me at the injustice, all the frustration, the inconvenience, all of those feelings.
“I can’t drive my car without my badge as I can’t get in or out [of the vehicle] without space to get my wheelchair beside my car. And without the guarantee of a disabled space, it’s not worth the risk.”
Blue Badges are issued by local councils and allow the holders to get free or longer parking as well as using disabled spaces. Nothing else was taken from her car at the time.
Sophie was involved in a car accident in 2003, when she was just 18 and had picked up her A-level results from her boarding school, Gordonstoun, in Scotland.
Driving four friends home in her car, she veered off the road and ended up trapped beneath it, suffering severe injuries that left her paralysed from the chest down.
Sophie revealed: “I have post-traumatic stress disorder from all the things that have happened to me. And as much as I have coped very well, there are a huge number of issues that I need to work through since my car crash.”
In recent years, the presenter has been lobbying the government to implement a number of imperative legislative changes within the aviation industry in the UK as part of her RightsOnFlights campaign.
Sophie had taken a flight back to the UK from Los Angeles when she was waiting to be reunited with her wheelchair which was being kept in the hold, only to find out it had been damaged.
