Callum’s love for performing began at the age of 4 when he went to a drama group for kids with special needs to try and improve his speech (due to his autism). He took up dance 3 years ago and goes to a local drama school at weekends. He is always the only boy but loves the attention. On top of this he also attends the prestigious Sylvia Young Theatre School. Callum loves entertaining people and really wants to perform for the judges.
