A young man walks onto the stage of Stars in their Eyes, on crutches,with a
plaster cast from his feet to his hips.
Matthew Kelly Introduces him as Simon, from Leeds . "It's very brave of you
to come out here," says Matthew, "please tell the audience what happened?"
"Well," replies Simon "about a year ago, I was driving with my uncle when we
had a really bad accident. Unfortunately my uncle was killed outright but I
survived. I was trapped in the car for six hours before
I was eventually cut free. The doctors had me in surgery for 12 hours but
they couldn't save my legs."
"That's terrible. But I see you have legs now. Are they artificial?"asks
Matthew.
"No Matthew, while I was in hospital the doctors informed me that my Uncle
had in fact died, but that his legs were fine and with all the advances in
medical science, they could graft the bottom half of his
body onto mine. As you can see the operation was successful. I have been
having physiotherapy for six months and hope to be walking fully again by
the end of the year."
A huge round of applause erupts from the audience.
Kelly responds with: "That's an unbelievable story.
So.....Simon,tonight, who are you going to be?"
