Exclusive: Fred Dinenage interviews Major Tim Peake
ITV News Meridian's Fred Dinenage flew out to Germany to interview Major Tim Peake to find out what it takes to become an astronaut while he was training in 2010.
The 41-year-old agreed to show Fred around the European Space Agency's training facility because he was inspired to study science by the presenter's ITV programme 'How' as a child.
Fred will catch up with Tim on ITV News Meridian at 6pm on ITV in the South.
