TV’s Carrie Grant joined hundreds of outraged parents and carers outside Parliament yesterday to demand better education for disabled children.
The former Fame Academy vocal coach, 57, said one of her four children with special educational needs and disabilities had been out of school for three years owing to a lack of places.
She said: "What does three years of missing school tell you? It says you don’t fit in, you are not good enough, you’ll never amount to anything.
"The fight is relentless and exhausting.
"I am politely asking for change."

Lisa Lloyd, who helped organise the protest — also backed by model Christine McGuinness, 35 — added: “We’ve had an amazing turnout. We need to be heard.”
In a survey, seven in ten parents said their disabled children’s health had been hit.
The Sun’s Give it Back campaign calls for the Government to plug a £573million funding gap.
