A MAN who grew up in foster homes is set to discuss his experiences in a tv documentary.

Liam Phillips, 24, will appear on screen alongside athletics legend, Fatima Whitbread MBE, in Channel 5 show, Growing Up in Care.

The former Gilberd pupil moved between homes since he was 12 years old, after his relationship with his birth parents broke down.

He was placed with two families before settling with celebrated foster carer, Jim Bond MBE, in Colneford Hill, White Colne.

The father-of-one was invited to Castle Park where he was filmed discussing the virtues of loving foster care alongside Miss Whitbread.

Mr Phillips, of Goring Road, said: “I was nervous but Fatima was so brilliant."
