Best of Barcroft TV 2016

FROM the woman on a quest to weigh over 1000lbs, to the man living his life as a ‘virtuous’ paedophile, BTV has featured some of the most incredible and controversial stories of 2016. Ballerina Gabi Shull, who thought her dancing days were over when a rare bone cancer robbed her of her right leg, but thanks to pioneering surgery her fancy footwork is now back on pointe. Another inspiring youngster was seven-year-old Sophi Green, from Utah, who proved that she could do anything despite being born with no arms - even use chopsticks! Taking feminism to the next level was Kim Anami who teaches ‘Vaginal Kung Fu.’ And the heart wants what the heart wants and for DeAnna Rivas that meant inviting another woman into her marriage. Marimar Quiroa, from California, used to hide her face in public because of her large facial tumour. She is now challenging traditional beauty standards with her successful YouTube channel of inspiring make-up tutorials. Famous real-life cartoon Pixee Fox travelled to India to have the colours of her eyes changed from blue to green. And an incredible Hulk-inspired bodybuilder, who was risking his life to pump his muscles by injecting oil into his arms.
