A burns victim who faced taunts such as “worm hands� says people with disfigurements should “embrace� the way they look. Lucy Wilson from Derby suffered burns to her leg after she was scalded as a baby. She had four fingers and three toes amputated, and has since had more than 50 operations. Growing up, Lucy, now 20, says bus drivers “wouldn’t put change her hands� and she was sometimes “followed� by people wanting to look at her scars. The university student hopes by sharing her story, she can support other burns survivors who are “afraid to go out�. This clip is originally from Stephen Nolan on Sunday 1 November 2015.
