Liz Carr will soon be back on our screens in the BBC documentary Better Off Dead?, which explores assisted dying. The hour-long episode follows Liz as she takes an "in-depth look at the issue, speaking to people from all sides of the debate".
As well as her work as a disability rights activist, Liz is also known for her acting career and has landed roles in Silent Witness and Good Omens. But how much do you know about her life away from the cameras?
Liz entered into a civil partnership with her long-term girlfriend, Jo Church, in 2010.
The couple first met during Liz's days on the comedy circuit. She previously told The Guardian: "When I got together with my wife, I was on the comedy circuit at the time, and I remember particularly the male comics being like, 'You’re punching above your weight.'"
Liz and Jo tied the knot in a Day of the Dead-themed celebration, with Liz describing the joyful day to the BBC.
In an essay at the time, Liz said that the day was "perfect", writing: "Since we’ve both lost so many family and disabled friends along the way, we chose this date so that we could celebrate with those from our past and our present."
She added that the guests remained seating throughout the ceremony, explaining: "If there’s one thing I hate as a wheelie, it’s events where everyone is asked to stand. You sit there unable to see anything because of the barricade of bums.
"Determined that none of our friends would find themselves staring at someone else’s behind rather than at the main attraction, we asked the Registrar to request that everyone remain seated throughout the ceremony."

He talked proudly about my disability activism, my comedy and my new wife. He joked about how I’d banned him from saying things like brave, inspirational and special. Everyone laughed, including me."
The newlyweds completed their beautiful day by performing their first dance to Time of My Life from Dirty Dancing, in which a local fire brigade lifted Liz in the same style of how Patrick Swayze famously lifts Jennifer Grey on the show.
