Coronation Street actors Cherylee Houston (Izzy Armstrong) and Melissa Johns (Kate's friend Imogen) have created DANC, a Disabled Artists Networking Community. DANC will encourage more conversations with TV companies, theatres and arts venues to promote better representation and create jobs for disabled actors.
The stars say they're often told by casting directors they didn't know where to find disabled actors.
