A schoolboy who plays Xbox using his chin might soon be able to use both hands after receiving a bionic arm.

Inspirational Pierce Gilmour, 11, plays the games console using his chin, tongue and left hand.

The remarkable youngster from Irvine, Scotland had to adapt to playing his favourite games after he was born without half of his right arm.

But thanks to a new hi-tech prosthetic, called a Hero Arm, Pierce could soon be able to play his Xbox with both arms.

The 11-year-old is looking forward to being able to perform activities such as baking, riding a bike and sports with his new bionic arm.
