Surely that title has to win an award of the most bizarre? 
No, seriously. That bloke on Big Brother who lost his legs in action. He said that he's renting a false leg and if he wanted to buy it he'd be looking at 20 to 30 grand.
Do they really cost that much and of so what the hell are they made of to make them cost so much? He said it's computerised but even so you can buy a top computer for less than £1000.
How much does a leg cost then Gwyn? Is he telling the truth or is he exaggerating?
