I'm one who has ranted about empty disabled spaces when I can't park but it would never, ever occur to me to park in one. I thank my lucky stars that I am perfectly able to walk from a space that's further way. Bad show Natalie.

No excuse for this the bays are clearly labelled. Another 'celeb' with too much self importance.

It's very naughty of Nat but it's not THAT bad, surely? Maybe a disabled person would be inconvenienced by it, which would be disappointing and frustrating for them, but it's hardly a matter of life and death, is it?
It's inconsiderate and very selfish and I think doing things like this give an insight in to what a person is like and she has gone way down in my estimation. |

Definitely wrong on Natalie's part and very much not on, but I also think whatever saddo with a camera stalked her and took pictures of this needs to get a life!
I also don't like the culture of "shaming" those who aren't obviously disabled for parking in disabled spaces. People can have hidden disabilities, or it could be a relative picking up a disabled family member. Just because the person getting out of the car doesn't have a very obvious disability, it doesn't mean they're not entitled to be there. Seemingly not applicable to Natalie in this case, but food for thought. It can be really hurtful to the people who are accosted by supposed "do gooders" for parking in disabled bats. |

If you're transporting a passenger who has a blue badge, you are supposed to display their card on the dashboard of your vehicle.
The blue badge rules apply only to on-street, not off-street carparks including private parking but surely they're a useful guide to the appropriateness of that too. |

Seems odd that a paparazzi is following her around like this.
There are no shots showing whether she has a disabled pass on the dashboard - I have used one when carrying some friends elderly relative. I would not put it pass the press to leave out an image of someone like that getting into the car. In some pictures she is loading, it does not seem a serious infraction to use the bay briefly whilst putting some bags in the car - it is a private car park so the markings are advisory not enforceable by the police. It is not impossible that there is no one living at the flats who is disabled and the residents have been told it is OK to use the disabled bay. I used a small car park once that was nearly all disabled bays, the chap in charge told me to use one which I did without feeling at all guilty. |

Does Nat do Twitter? (I don't myself, so I have no way to know.)
It would be (mildly) interesting to know if she has responded to the allegations. Given all the comments I have read about how lovely she is from people who have actually met her, it seems rather out of character. |

I'm finding it a bit hard to reconcile that someone who always seemed a nice person on the show could behave like a selfish tit away from it too. She definately gone a few notches down in my opinion of her.

It might give you half a dozen Natalie Lowe's, but it won't be too difficult to work out which is the right one. |

I'd like to think this is the case, and thank you for offering a different perspective on the situation.

Interesting responses.........I wonder if someone like Kristina , Karen or even Ola would've been given the benefit of the doubt like quite a few people are doing here with Natalie.

I mean, why would they? None of them are above the law. |

Even when you have a blue bagde people can be uppity about it though - thinking you are using a family members badge when you don't deserve to when actually you're picking up that family member, or you are actually disabled yourself.

I like Natalie very much but if she has done this not once but twice then she should be prosecuted, it's against the law!!

She's @RealNatalieLowe on Twitter and she's not made any comment over this.
Disappointed if she did this on purpose and with no valid reason to park there. |
