Sir Ranulph Fiennes: I sawed off my own fingers

5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

Explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes contracted severe frostbite on a solo attempt to walk to the North Pole. Back home, he couldn't cope with the pain, so he decided to saw off his own fingers. "We bought a Black & Decker work bench and a microsaw", he explains. This clip is originally from 5 live Jane Garvey and Peter Allen on Sunday 19th March 2017.
