'The film has a really strong message for us all that with hard work and determination there are no limits to what can be achieved and it's extra special because the family are local to our fine city.'

Filming took place in various locations around Norwich in April 2017, including the market and Mousehold Health, before the cast and crew headed to Los Angeles to finish production.

Made by Seven Buck Productions with WWE Studios and Film 4, Fighting With My Family is scheduled for release in UK cinemas on March 1.
