A paver who accidently severed his thumb off proudly showed how it has been replaced - with his BIG TOE. Grateful James Byne, 29, cut off his left thumb as he was sawing through a piece of wood last December. Surgeons desperately tried to sew it back on but the blood would not start flowing again despite months of treatment including using leeches. The father-of-one thought he would be left without his crucial digit - until doctors suggested fitting his left TOE to his hand instead. Now, two months after the operation, James has a just a few scars and a working 'thumb'

  • Does anyone know how I can get hold of James Bryne to interview him for the BBC. He's been interviewed by the BBC previously, but this is with celebrity Doctor, Dr phil who is better known for being on 'Have I Got News For You', & 'This Morning'. I would much appreciate this, & James Bryne could also make a lot of money if I put him in touch with my agent.

    07812155581 or Julius.Abraham@bbc.co.uk or find me on facebook.
