“He makes an impact and has a name that people remember. I took him to the PHA Agency in Manchester in 2019 and they signed him on the spot.”

The role with Dreams saw Storm’s face on posters across 200 stores nationwide, as well as the company’s online shop.

It was a proud day when Lisa, 49, took Storm on his first trip to London last year to see the posters for himself at the company’s flagship outlets.

“We went round London on an open top bus and it was a really overwhelming moment.”

Storm’s sister, Star, 13, was also previously signed up by a modelling agency before ultimately deciding it was not for her.

Lisa said: “If Storm decided he didn’t want to do it, it wouldn’t happen, but he really enjoys being on set and likes to please people.

Lisa said: “He’s got acting skills too and he’s really driven to have a big house one day and all the rest.

“For now, he’s got a little box for his modelling money. It’s not hard to keep his feet on the ground.”
