'No regrets' over high heel rebellion
Nicola Thorp lost her job when she refused to wear high heels whilst temping as a receptionist with the finance company PwC.
She launched a petition on Facebook to change the law which can force women to wear high heels. It went viral. The agency who employed her, Portico, then changed its policies.
Becky Milligan went to talk to Nicola in her home.
