Woman with Spina Bifida Says Boys Asked to Secretly Date, being ashamed to be with a 'Midget'

A spina bifida sufferer has told how boys asked to date her in secret because they were ashamed to be seen with a “midget”.

Lila Hart, 27, is just 4ft 6ins tall due to a curved spine birth defect which doctors said would leave her unable to walk.

The stand-up comedian says her love interests in school said they liked her but couldn’t date her in public because they feared being made fun of.
