Most women love buying shoes - but for one Bingley teenager it holds greater significance.

For Laura Campbell is all set to receive her £20,000 cosmetic legs and she cannot wait to be able to wear her first pair of high heels.

The 17-year-old, who had her legs amputated when she was 18 months old, has bought her first pair of heeled boots and a knee-length denim skirt ready for when she gets the new limbs.

"It's so exciting. I keep looking at the skirt and I can't wait for the day when I can wear it and be like other girls of my age," said the former Bingley Grammar School pupil.

Laura, of Crossflatts, was fitted at a Dorset orthopaedic clinic for the legs which have a special button to lift the heel so she can wear high heels.

"The range of legs available is amazing, I'd never seen anything like it - I was in shock," said Laura, who suffers from Thrombocytopenia Radial Aplasia - a rare syndrome which causes skeletal, blood or heart abnormalities.

"There were legs for swimming, legs for skiing in all different bright colours, and men's legs come with hairs on them.

"The legs I'll have look so real, there are creases at the top of the foot and bumps where bones would be - they looked fantastic. I can't believe it's happening."

She will get the limbs in about six weeks and said she's all set for a shoe-shopping frenzy.

"My life is going to be so different, it's like all my dreams have come true," she said.

"I'm so grateful to my friends and family for all their help and support."

At the Dorset clinic she met prosthetist Dr Bob Watts who also fitted a leg for celebrity model and Laura's idol Heather Mills.

In August last year the Telegraph & Argus reported how Laura e-mailed Heather, wife of former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney, and was delighted to receive a 45-minute surprise call.

"She has been keeping in touch and I got a message from her saying congratulations when I got enough money to buy my legs," said Laura.

Laura's friends and family launched an appeal in April last year to provide her with cosmetic limbs.

Her dreams came true just before Christmas when she was given a huge donation of £11,500 from Skipton Properties which brought her fund to its target.
