14:48I'm what is now
14:50very very
14:51commonly referred to
14:53as a lived experienced
14:54speaker
14:55whenever I lived
14:56with my mum and dad
14:57I went into care
14:58when I was six
15:00really
15:01it's not like
15:03poor me
15:03this is how bad it was
15:04it's my life is amazing
15:06I grew up in care
15:07and this is why
15:08my life is amazing
15:09I was told to stay
15:11back after school
15:12and some people
15:13from the NSPCC
15:14came and took some
15:17pictures
15:17and realised
15:18very quickly
15:19that maybe I needed
15:20to go to hospital
15:21and when they did
15:23some x-rays
15:23they found some
15:25quite disturbing stuff
15:26and as a result of that
15:27I never went back home
15:28unfortunately my mum
15:33went into prison
15:34so it was a tough time
15:36a really tough time
15:37actually
15:37and yes it was a scary time
15:41but the NSPCC were lovely
15:43I had got my first
15:44ever cuddly toy
15:45the first time
15:47you had a cuddly toy
15:48was it?
15:49yeah it's quite sad
15:49to say that
15:50but yeah

15:51yeah
15:52unfortunately
15:53my foster family
15:54broke down
15:55and I went back
15:55into a children's home
15:56and 14 placements
15:58later I left care
15:59so to live in 14
16:02different homes

26:06cheers it's lovely to meet you
26:08really lovely to meet you too
26:09is that a mojito no no it's not is it this is ironically called a second chance
26:14how long how long how long are you single I got divorced about six years ago okay and since then I'm a single man to an eight-year-old I see and been in the NHS for 23 years now and I work as a midwife and I've worked overseas in humanitarian aid I mean I only did three long placements that's so I went to
26:24I only did three long placements that's so I went to
26:38in South Sudan which was conflict and then Haiti after the earthquake and
26:41with Rohingya people in Bangladesh
26:43in my aid work I had never found a way of making a relationship work
26:50and I left specifically because I knew I couldn't be a mum and do aid work
26:55I then went back to Bangladesh to teach on the country's first ever midwifery course and I met a very handsome surfing instructor and we did fall in love and I found out I was pregnant which was unexpected I just thought this is you know this is my chance to be happy I've I've helped other people and now this is my turn
27:18I think people tend to think that aid workers just waft through the emergencies and it doesn't impact them whatsoever but the reality of aid work is that of course you're just people
27:30we found out at our 20-week scan that my daughter had a brain tumour
27:36sorry
27:39and I can remember we met with the neurosurgeon and I'd asked what's her chance of survival
27:48but they just said there was no chance of survival for her so I gave birth to her early and she died after an hour
27:56and
27:59it was nine years ago and
28:02sometimes it can still bring me to my knees out of nowhere
28:08we went on and had another daughter and she's the best thing that ever happened to me
28:16for six years now I've been a lone parent and I've got a lot of love to give that I'm not
28:24also currently giving and I feel really ready that I could share that space with somebody really special
28:33that would be great

37:59that was my determination
38:00to be able to own some amazing cars
38:02the reason I've not had a relationship
38:05is because partly I've been so focused on
38:07building my career
38:08but also it's finding that right woman
38:11who accepts me for me
38:12I've had a few premium cars at my young age
