A six-year-old girl born with no fingers on one hand is set to be the youngest in the UK to be fitted with a bionic arm.

Caitlin Hutson was born with only one fully formed hand due to a rare congenital condition.

Her left hand did not fully develop giving what she calls her "nubbins" instead of fully working fingers.

Despite her confidence as a keen acrobat and cyclist, she's unable to do up her coat or open an ice cream packet without help and becomes self conscious out in public.

But all this could change if her family can raise the £13,000 needed for a bionic hand she will become the youngest to receive a 'Hero Arm' from UK-based company Open Bionics.
