What will happen on tonight's Gypsy Kids: Our Secret World?

Keen to impress his dad and earn himself a solid reputation in the travelling community, 11-year-old Albert is gearing up for his first ever competitive boxing match.

Cheered on from the sidelines by his charismatic younger brother Michael, Albert is feeling the pressure.

Traveller twins Johnny and Abraham are attending a catapult competition. Vying to be crowned the best in the country they'll need to use regulation ball bearings, instead of their preferred type of ammunition - stones. "The thing is, you've got to find the right stone".

And 11-year-old English traveller Sheri-Anne is keeping gypsy traditions alive by proving her talents on the back of a horse.  A keen equestrian vaulter, she is risking life and limb to accomplish the ‘standing canter’, a move that requires her to stand up on a moving horse with no hands.
