A dyslexic student who learned to read and write upside down and back to front before overcoming her problems with special orange filter paper has seen her life story turned into a Japanese TV show.
Sports-mad Gemma Williams, 17, was diagnosed with a rare form of dyslexia as a child. She had to turn her computer monitor upside down to make sense of writing.
"I would love to go to Japan one day as I am also a black belt in judo."
Gemma, a sports student from Rochdale, suffers from a condition known as Irlen Syndrome, which was only discovered in the early 1980s.
It means she has difficulty reading text on a white background as it appears fuzzy and causes headaches.
