A one-legged daredevil has joined the circus four years after he lost his limb in an industrial accident - as a tightrope walker.

Brave Nathan Bland, 24, who has a prosthetic left leg and no toes on his right foot, pulled off the death-defying act atop the 65ft (20m) cable on Wednesday (June 28).

He had no plans to take part in the terrifying routine until he visited a touring Circus, in Halifax, West Yorks., but was asked to perform by a member of staff.
