VIDEO EXCLUSIVE: Armless man peels potatoes with feet

Frank, 64, is inspiration to disabled

A TOWN'S mayor who was born with no arms has become an inspiration to the disabled - after learning to peel potatoes and drink beer with his feet.

Frank Letch, 64, from Devon, has developed an incredible dexterity with his lower limbs that allows him to do everything an able-bodied person can do.

His amazing skills can be seen here in a heart-warming video filmed exclusively for the News of the World website.

Frank's talent has now been noticed by a British production company who want him to act as a template for an animated character in new computer game.

He will be kitted out with special leggings fitted with electronic tags before being filmed carrying out various tasks with his feet.

The footage will then be mapped onto a computer and Frank, the Mayor of Crediton, will be transformed into a cartoon.

He said: ''They'll kit me out with special leggings fitted with electronic tags and then film me doing various things.

''This allows them to translate my movements and so create an animated character.''

He was approached by Fragment Media, based in Newcastle, after its director Simon McKeown spotted him at a disability exhibition.

Frank said: ''He wanted to see what I could do with my feet, so I showed him how I can use my toes to write.''
