A woman who lost her leg in the Alton Towers Smiler crash has posed naked for a photoshoot to ‘challenge what society regards as sexy’.
Vicky Balch also revealed that she was left considering ending her life when she lost her leg in the accident in June 2015.
However, she’s had a big turn around and now wants other people to see the scars to inspire them.
She told the Sunday People: ‘In the beginning especially, there were days when I didn’t want to be here any more. I’d think, “What’s the point? I’m not going to be able to live my life to the full or love my life ever again”.’
However, she now says that she realises that there is always someone who will find you attractive, no matter what you look like.
Last year Balch, from Grimsargh, Preston, posed for pictures of herself in lingerie.
She was one of five people seriously injured when the roller coaster carriage she was on crashed into the back of another one at 50mph.
Victims were trapped for more than four hours, 25ft in the air, waiting to be rescued and the accident led to a fine of £5million for Merlin, the parent company of Alton Towers.
