Both character and actress suffer from Guillain-Barré Syndrome, an acute disease of the peripheral nervous system which affects the nerves in the arms and legs, resulting in inflammation, weakness and sometimes paralysis of the limbs.
Kelly-Marie, of West Derby, a former Broughton Hall high school pupil, said: “Hayley is very feisty and has the right attitude – if anyone is not cool enough to see her for who she actually is, it is their problem, not hers.
“Before Hayley’s illness, she had a great relationship with her brother Zak, but now he finds it difficult to relate to her and cannot see past her disability.”
