After winning hearts on the Late Late Toy Show, space fan Adam King was last night given an exclusive tour of Ireland's National Space Centre.

He was filming at the Elfordstown Earthstation near Midleton in Cork to record a Christmas message against the backdrop of the NSC and the spectacularly illuminated 32-meter radio astronomy dish.
