Inspirational speaker Claudio Vieira de Oliveira, 37, has badly deformed legs, almost no use of his arms and hands - and his neck is folded back on itself. Doctors told his mother to stop feeding him as a newborn as they believed he had no chance of survival. But Claudio from Monte Santo, Brazil, has overcome his extreme disadvantages to graduate as an accountant and become a public speaker. Claudio's story appears in Body Bizarre, which starts from 4th September, 9pm on TLC UK.

00:01
COMM: Claudio Vieira de Oliveira, he's a 37-year-old
who lives with an extraordinary disability.
00:26
COMM: Claudio was born with an extreme case
of congenital malformation, his legs are badly
deformed, and his arms are of little use,
and most bizarrely his vertebral column has
twisted back so severely that his head now
rests facing backwards along his spine.
00:55
COMM: Despite the prediction, Claudio survived
and felt no pain from his deformity, his parents
understandably lost faith in doctor's opinions
and never took him back to the hospital
