Karen has suffered with social anxiety for 10 years and is terrified of people. Karen will do anything to avoid people and she can't go anywhere without her husband. Both are cleaners at a local school which is perfect for Karen as all the pupils and teachers aren't in school while she's at work. She spends her entire time cleaning 21 toilets as she refuses to enter a classroom just in case a teacher is working late. Karen hasn't seen her grandchildren for over a year, although they only live 4 minutes down the road. She has also gone months without seeing her sons because she feels really awkward around them. Today we see if Karen can get over her phobia and reunite with her family.
