Ella Newitt, from Bedworth, Warwickshire, is a very special little girl.

Born with one arm, at 21-months-old she eats by holding crisp packets and ice-cream cones with her feet. She grasps pencils between her toes, and even uses her toes to build towers with blocks.

The family are now fundraising to buy a prosthetic arm for Ella. They would like to buy both a 'cosmetic' arm, which she can use when she starts school, and a fully 'robotic' arm.
