Meet the woman who is travelling the world performing as an archer - shooting a flaming bow and arrow with her feet.
Orissa Kelly, 28, from Watford, began learning gymnastics at the age of three – advancing to performing circus acts and stunts in her teenage years.
She honed her skills on aerial hoops hanging from ceilings, but still wanted to push herself further.

So, she kept trying new things - until she discovered a bow and arrow.
Orissa visited a local hunting shop in February 2015 and purchased a bow and arrow, with the motive of creating an act that no one else had done before.
She started practicing foot archery for six hours a day for six months in an open cricket field - braving all types of weather.
She said: "I learnt to shoot with my feet before I could shoot with my hands.
"I still consider myself more accurate with my feet.
Orissa said her training was sometimes "excruciating".
She said: "My most common injury was from the bow string on my calf, the string would repeatedly hit it, causing it to bruise, swell, and bleed.”
But her persistence paid off with Orissa going on to compete on Britain’s Got Talent in 2016 - where she was described as “brilliant” by judge Alesha Dixon.
Orissa then went to compete on the MTV show ‘Amazingness’ in 2018 - which she won and brought home a $10,000 cash prize.
She was also invited to join circus group the Cirque Du Hilarious big top circus show in Newcastle for six weeks, where she lived in a caravan and performed her staple routine for an amazed audience.
In 2020 she moved to Nashville, US, after demonstrating her talents in another competition - the Go-Big Show.
Orissa now travels all around the globe showcasing her talents - visiting her favourite places, including South Africa, Nigeria, and Guatemala - performing for an expanding list of wealthy clients.
She splits her downtime between the US and the UK.
"I like to say home is where my mum is, so no matter how much I travel, home will always be Watford," she said.
