In our last visit to the youngsters of the big top we meet Lewis, eight. Both his parents are clowns, but as they’re separated there is a lot of travelling between two circuses for Lewis – he’s already attended 52 schools.

We also hear from former tearaway Brendon, 17, who’s turned his life around since becoming a unicyclist, and Luke, 10, who’s more into Lego than tricks.
