Will was living with Mrs Wilkinson and her husband for five years and they remain close.

He described his journey into foster care as “abrupt” – when he was 11 he said he went to school one day and never went back home.

Instead he said he went to Mrs Wilkinson’s house.

“I remember Helen was this really lovely, happy person and I remember thinking this is a bit weird because my life before wasn’t so great,” he said.

“And we ate a tin of celebrations together and got to know each other.”
