Biography

From an early age Edward has suffered from asthma, as a baby he nearly died from his first asthma attack. With this in mind, as Edward became pro-active with his many hobbies as a child, he continued to surprise those who knew him. He later attended drama classes at the local drama school, and occasionally sailed at Wraysbury Lakes Sailing Club.

Edward initially started gymnastics and trampoline at his local leisure centre in Egham. He then began attending the Spelthorne School of Gymnastics in 1996, where he enhanced on his gymnastics skills as his passion for the sport grew.

Since then Edward has won various medals in both junior and adult competitions. Edward is also a member of the Gymnastics team Spelbound who won the 2010 television show Britain’s Got Talent.

He has further worked as a stunt double in Martin Scorsese’s film Invention of Hugo Cabret.
