Sophie Morgan is a Broadcaster, Travel Expert, and Disability Advocate
Sophie is co-founder of production company Making Space, which partnered with Reese Witherspoon’s company Hello Sunshine. Making Space aims to place disabled talent front and centre and give a voice to those within the industry to tell untold and unexplored stories.
Sophie has made award-winning current affairs documentaries, travel programs and consumer affairs shows including Dispatches and Unreported World. Sophie’s latest documentary, The Experiment (Channel 4), continues her work exploring important social issues and received brilliant reviews, with The Guardian awarding it four stars and The Times also praising its impact, writing: “If a documentary’s purpose is to make you think, this one succeeded.”
The remarkable documentary, Sophie Morgan’s Fight to Fly, aired on Channel 4 in 2024, showcasing the mistreatment of disabled passengers during travel. This documentary was born from her spearheading the global disability rights campaign ‘Rights On Flights’. The campaign is calling for the Government to grant the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) the powers to fine airlines if they fail to look after disabled passengers. This has taken her to the Houses of Parliament, Number 10, and to meeting the former President, Joe Biden, in the United States.
Sophie was named one of the UK’s Top 10 most influential disabled people, and she is one of the only television presenters with a disability in the world. She is also a proud patron of Scope, Back Up & Human Rights Watch.
In 2025, Sophie worked with Primark to develop the first ever seated female mannequin and manual wheelchair. The ‘Sophie’ mannequin, is now in 20 Primark stores across nine markets with plans to expand. She has partnered with major brands such as Can-Am, PADI, and AirBnb to promote their Adapted Category.
