One of Birmingham's most well-known barbers says his disability has only made him stronger, as he continues his incredible success story.
Kaycie Francis, who works at Smokey Barbers in the city's Primark store, was born with cerebral palsy, a condition which affects the way he walks.
However he hasn't let it get in the way of his career, and now boasts nearly 90,000 followers on TikTok, with some famous names among his list of clients.
“My most recent one is the new Villa signing who was bought for £24m, Jhon Jader Durán."
"He walked in and I realised he played for Villa and now he’s one of my closest clients.”
