The youngster then sat in his dad’s real car, showing off the plush red and black leather exterior, while saying he wanted his own.
Tommy shared a video of himself at the car dealership admiring his and Brody’s shiny black Ferraris.
He shook hands with the sales team and looked on cloud nine as he finally got to get behind the wheel and drive the car home.
Captioning the clip, he wrote: ‘Today was a amazing day! After a mad mad year I treated myself to a new toy!! Thank you @graypaulnottingham_ferrari you are the best ❤️ and thanks to my brother @arranleebailey for bringing me in’.
He added: ‘2024, the year of doing what makes YOU happy… Brody is going to go mad when he sees this!! Thank you to the team at @graypaulnottingham_ferrari for making it extra special’.

After he was asked: ‘How come you sold up all your cars then? G Wagon gone as well?’ he replied: ‘Everything is gone.’
Tommy explained: ‘It’s to have a re-set. And I’ll tell you the actual reason behind it. So when the fuel prices are going up and me putting petrol in the car bruv, it makes no difference to me money-wise. If you’re driving a £200K car, doesn’t matter does it?’
He continued: ‘For me it’s when I pull up at the petrol station and you’ve got my man struggling to put a tenner in his car to get to work, do I want to be pulling up in the £200 grand motor jumping out, putting a two in the car and jumping back in?
‘No man, that’s not who I want to be. I want to be relatable. I want to be able to come across as a normal person.
‘I’ve done well, and I’ve got money, but in these next few years that are going to be tough, I don’t want to be rubbing it in people’s faces. Because that’s when the hate starts man. I don’t want that.’
He insisted: ‘I want to be relatable. I say hello to everyone where I live in the mornings, and I go in my local caff and I talk to everyone.’
