Girl, 9, who fell into a scalding hot bath takes her first steps in 7 YEARS after having her leg amputated - despite doctors saying she would never walk again

Tilly Sawford (inset), from Nottingham, was given just a five per cent chance of survival after suffering 86 per cent burns when she was just 15-months-old. Her parents were told she was close to death five times as she was treated in intensive care for six months. She has had more than 500 operations, including having shark cartilage and cow collagen grafted onto her skin - but doctors still said she would never walk again, forcing her to use a frame (right). Earlier this year doctors amputated her right leg and replaced it with a prosthetic limb to try and help her walk (left). And incredibly, two weeks ago she took her first steps unaided - and even played a toy foot-piano.
