"One Saturday, you know, with a gang of friends when we went to their house and I sent for her," Mr Rawlings recalled in a preview of the video shared on Instagram by Yvonne Okoro.

He continued: "I didn't think she would come and she did. And I saw she had mellowed, she used to be a little hostile towards me... I could show interest in her line up of friends just so I could walk along beside them."
