Comedian and art lover Bill Bailey matches 20-year-old Millie, a campaigner challenging the stereotypes around Down鈥檚 syndrome, with Karen Turner, an award-winning, self-taught painter.

Millie is a drama student and social media influencer who is campaigning for equality around pregnancies involving foetuses with Down鈥檚 syndrome.

When Millie discovered that a healthy foetus with Down鈥檚 syndrome could be terminated right up until birth, she took the issue to government, demanding a change in the law.

To capture Millie, Bill has chosen Karen Turner, an award-winning, self-taught painter who celebrates people in society who aren鈥檛 always represented on canvas.

How will she portray this charismatic young campaigner?
