My Life at Christmas with Anita Rani

Series 2 Episode 2: Anita Rani Meets Ade Adepitan

Anita Rani meets Paralympian and broadcaster Ade Adepitan to hear his inspirational life story and how sport, spirituality and the festive season have shaped him. Anita discovers his life-affirming Christmas story, from contracting polio as a toddler in Nigeria, to growing up with a disability in east London in the 1970s, to the rocky road that led to Paralympic glory with the British wheelchair basketball team. Now a respected broadcaster, Ade shines a light on causes close to his heart.
