A Bangor woman who was left paralysed in an accident is set to star in a reality TV show.
Sophie Jones is one of the new cast members in the S4C programme, Gogglebocs Cymru.
The 29-year-old was left paralysed and with daily epileptic seizures following a brain injury in 2019.
The injury was caused by a fall in which Ms Jones hit her head on a plasterboard wall.
Despite her condition, Ms Jones is determined to show the world that she is not defined by her disability.
She said: "I'm confined to the wheelchair since I had a fall in 2019 and cracked my head causing a brain injury but I want Gogglebocs Cymru viewers to see beyond the chair and see me as a person."
Ms Jones shares her home with her support workers who provide round-the-clock care at her specially adapted bungalow.
One of these is Morfen Munro, 56, who Ms Jones sees as her "second mother".

Ms Munro said: "Sophie is a lovely and brave young woman and I'm loving the work, it's so different to what I used to do and it’s so rewarding."
The duo will be sharing their views on a broad range of programmes from S4C, other channels, and streaming services on the show.
Ms Jones added: "My mother passed away in 2017 from sepsis and I've become very fond of Morfen.
"She's about the same age as my mother and we have similar conversations and a lot of fun together.
"She's become my second mother and I'm very lucky."
Also joining the cast are new faces Nia Davies and Kevin Williams from Rhosmeirch, near Llangefni.
Mr Williams, a presenter on the Capital Cymru radio station, said: "It'll be a new experience for both of us.
"I've done a lot of radio but not much television.
"Some people might say I've got a good face for radio."
Gogglebocs Cymru is made by two Gwynedd-based television production companies, Cwmni Da, in Caernarfon, and Chwarel, from Cricieth.
Series producer Euros Wyn said the line-up includes several cast members from the last series.
He said: "The old members of the cast are as excited as the new ones about the new series and they are looking forward to getting to grips with the programmes they will be watching."
Gogglebocs Cymru starts on S4C on Wednesday, October 16, at 9pm.
English subtitles will be available.
