From the moment Adam King winked at the camera as he arrived onto the set of the Toy Show on Friday night, he had won the heart of the nation.

The six year old, who hopes to work in NASA Mission Control when he's older, was the star of the show as he spoke of his life with brittle bones and why he's been carrying around a 'virtual hug' sign since the pandemic hit.

Speaking to Dermot and Dave, Adam's dad John, explained where Adam's love from space comes from and revealed that his arrival back to school on Monday was marked with a special (socially distanced) guard of honour.

And John also told Dermot and Dave about the heartwarming reason that Adam winked at the camera on his way out.
