He is only nine years old but Joshua Lester is getting used to being recognised by adoring fans.

Joshua plays Tim in the hugely popular television show Topsy and Tim, about the lives of five-year-old twins.

The series, broadcast on the BBC children's channel CBeebies, is watched by over 40 per cent of viewers aged under six, so attracting the attention of other children has become a regular occurrence.

But Joshua said: "Some people get embarrassed, but I just think it's not a big deal."
