Order my brand new book ‘I’m Only In It For The Parking’
What’s the worst thing about being disabled? Is it the shameless staring? Is it that people assume you’re a bit thick because you can’t speak? Or is it the fact that your friends always take you to theme parks just so they can jump the queues?
In fact, it’s the stupid questions that really rile Lee Ridley, aka Lost Voice Guy. And over the years he’s been inundated with them, from people who have failed to engage their brains before opening their mouths. Which is where I’m Only In It for the Parking comes in - think of it as a disabled FAQ, with funny (sometimes painfully funny) stories from Lee’s less-ordinary life.
If you think you know what it’s like to be disabled, prepare to have your perceptions skewered by the much-loved Britain’s Got Talent winner, the brilliant stand-up who struggles to stand up, the Geordie without the accent. And before you ask … no, he really can’t speak at all. But he definitely has something to say.
Think of it as a disabled FAQ. I've been asked countless stupid questions about my disability over the years, from 'What’s it like to be disabled?' to 'Can you really not speak?' In this book, I will use the best of these questions as a jumping off point to tell funny stories about my less than ordinary life.

That’s creepy and not cool. Not remotely funny.
Do you know what really boils my piss? Hotel room kettles Credit to Garry Delaney for that gem.
Be fun to just slip it under the door of random hotel rooms 😂😂
Only one ‘X’ ? ☹️
I say in the same departure buy of Newcastle airport as yourself in September but didn’t want to bother you
You’re a scoundrel

I’ve tried many times to find Narnia no luck yet 😭
Absolutely brilliant, you never fail to make us all laugh. Hope you're well? xx
Oh goodness me, my son's having his prom there next year. If he doesn't return will that mean he found it 🤣
I know that feeling 🤦♀️
You've inspired me to look out for these notes Lee!!
Lost Voice Guy you are really funny you make me laugh every time you spin on out 🤣
Nona Brown
😅🤣
Question: How could they put this sign up if they are stuck in the wardrobe? Ok. Maybe they put the sign up before going into the wardrobe, just in case they didn’t get out. But how would they know beforehand that they wouldn’t find Narnia? And surely if they did find Narnia, there’s a reasonable chance they got stuck there. 🤔
Must pay them a visit 😂
What’s happening lee 🤣🤣
🤦🏻♀️🤣🤣
Lolz😂😂
Nice one...
Becca Jane IKEA 😂 😂
🤣 brill
Excellent!
Love it! ❤️ 😂
Sometimes, the world can feel like a scary place.
That’s why ITV’s Britain Get Talking is partnering with schools all over the UK to set a different kind of homework - a task designed to help ease stress and reduce anxiety, by helping young people open up about the hardest subjects on their minds. So, start a conversation this World Mental Health Day, Tuesday 10th October.
Come on Britain! Do your homework, and Get Talking!

I took part in the Great North Run with the best people! Shout out to Lee, Ollie, Claudia and Paul for doing the hard work! Here’s a little video from the day. There’s still time to sponsor us as well. Link in my bio. 😁
This is the face of someone who didn’t get to see @arminvanbuuren at @ushuaiaibiza tonight because, after waiting 2 hours for an accessible taxi, he decided to give up. Proving that there’s still a long way to go until we live in an accessible world @ibizatravel
