In pictures: Circus thrills in Leyland

Kristin is a member of the Flying Bull Dancers, and has previously worked as an aircraft technician with the US Air Force, then in a brewery and a Hollywood stunt girl!
Australian trapeze artiste Jo used to work as a sound engineer with TV and film companies, before having a go on an outdoor flying trapeze in Sydney. She now performs double somersaults at the circus
