it's hard to believe thatjust a few years earlier, jack eyres hated how he looked.ondition in my leg that affect my hip and my kneejoint and my femur. i was very embarrassed by my leg and i was very ashamed of how it looked. today the model turned gb canoeist has bags of body confidence and the turning point was deciding aged 16, to have his leg amputated. having an amputation, i've literally got rid of this leg that i was quite ashamed of and that didn't work and was very much dead weight, is honestly the best decision i've ever made. a career as a personal trainer followed and then fitness modelling. my body was my business, so i very much kept myself in good shape. disabled peoplejust weren't represented at all within the fashion world. well done, jack. mr popularity. i was one of the first amputees to to really kind of step into that world. and it wasn't a very common thing. it was very nerve—racking because you didn't know what people were going to think. and some of the other models, like the able bodied models, you could tell they weren't too happy about it b
