This Morning fans in awe of 'fantastic' boy who had both his legs amputated

This Morning fans were in awe on Friday of a seven-year-old boy who had both of his legs amputated when he was a baby.

Tony Hudgell walked into the ITV studio using his new prosthetic legs alongside his adoptive parents and spoke to hosts Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary about how his life has changed.

Looking adorable in a grey blazer, Tony sat on the sofa and said he loves to play football now.

However when Alison asked him how long he's had his new legs, Tony simply replied: "I literally don't know!"

But his mum Paula confirmed he's "had them for about six weeks now" and said he's doing so well.

"He does venture out now without the crutches, its just incredible to see him like that," she said.

"It means that he's at the same level of his peers, has access to so much more and can play with his friends at school."

His proud father Mark added: "He's done incredibly well."

Tony was just one month old when he was admitted to the Evelina London Children’s Hospital in Southwark, South East London, with multiple fractures, multiple organ failure and sepsis.

Last year he raised £1.5million for the hospital that saved his life by walking 10km on his prosthetics with crutches.

However, Alison confirmed that he's actually raised £1.8 million in total now.
