Making quite the entrance into the ITV studio, Francis rode in on the back of a train with his GoPro in tow as Holly exclaimed: “Oh it’s quite fast!”
Francis explained that he wanted to make friends and fit in during school, leading him to sell his first model locomotive in order to buy “cool” clothes.
He explained: “It was a sad moment and I’m now building up my model railway again,” before admitting he regrets selling the precious item.
