Acrobat returns to home city as circus swings back into capital

Londoner and former TeamGB athlete Shawn Gregory shares how one of the capital's well-known venues helped inspire him to become an acrobat for the Cirque du Soleil.

He will perform in Corteo as the circus returns to the Royal Albert Hall in South Kensington.

It will be the first time the venue will be split into two halves, to give the audience a closer view of the performers.
