Man with cerebral palsy gets modeling job at Primark

Speaking to BBC Breakfast, Elliot said: “Inclusivity is really important when it comes to the world of work.”

Chris Caswell, Elliot’s mother, said the skills required for modeling were “perfect” for him because he could use his personality.

She told BBC Breakfast that Elliot’s “whole world has changed” since the documentary was released.

“Elliot has some limitations, but he has so much to give. He is very person-oriented – he loves doing customer service,” she said.

“He has some fantastic skills but just needs a little bit of support to get a job.”

Elliot told the program that while he was open to more modeling work in the future, he was looking for client-facing work – and that his dream job would be something related to Newcastle United, the football team he supports.
