He had a Decent section on the One show to be fair.

Amazing what he is doing, all day, every day for weeks, truly inspirational and I have thought about that, it isn't a platitude, it really is incredible what he is doing and an example to the indolent, lazy and feckless in this country that "cant do that", it is amazing what people can achieve despite massive setbacks, he was obviously a brave man before but this is way way braver to me than jumping buses.

Its shame to see him like that though, tragic, he was such a handsome b4stard and a real hero when I was a kid, it funny to see your heroes like that, Eddie Kidd aging and shuffling along like that and Adam Ant a total mentalist and bald.

Ive got the utmost respect for people like Eddie Kidd that have to live with the type of injuries that he suffered, he could just sit back and accept that his life will be testing at times but he's proving to a lot of people in a similar situation what you can still achieve in life.

A big thumbs up to Eddie Kidd for what he's achieved, he was one of my heros growing up and luckily i got to see him jump live
