The javelin thrower from Wolverhampton, who is looking to adopt a child at the age of 51, is heading up a Midlands campaign to find foster parents.

She launched the Placing Children First campaign for Progress Children's Services.

Video journalist Victoria Hoe went to meet Tessa and a Great Barr couple who are fostering two teenage boys.
