The youngest Globe of Death rider in the world is bringing his family’s circus to Ealing Common in October.

Peter Pavlov, 16, will perform the dangerous Globe of Death routine at Planet Circus - in its London debut - when eight motorcyclists speed around the inside of a steel cage at 60mph.

His sister, Amelia, will join in the death-defying stunts with her aerial rope act – 30ft in the air.

Peter, who got his first bike at the age of three, says motorbikes “will always be my passion” after he began performing at seven. The youngster went on to feature on TV talent show Britain's Got Talent.

His mother, Tanya, said: “It’s funny, whoever he meets, even if it’s Ant & Dec, he’s just himself, it’s as though it goes straight over his head, he just wants to ride & perform.”

The Faltyny family, winners of the Monte Carlo Circus festival, will be performing daredevil stunts involving large tanks of water.

Cuba’s Manuel will be ready to show his balance and skill on the end of a pole and knives will be thrown around a human target.

The first show begins on Wednesday October 21 and runs every night until Sunday November 1.

Tickets range from £7 to £30. For information call the box office on 07563 727206.
