00:00Last year was a really terrible year for us.
00:03Losing my mum felt like, and still does,
00:08feel like I've lost a part of me.
00:12Me and my mum, we had a brilliant relationship.
00:15And one of the things I loved was coming home from work
00:18and sitting down and having a cup of tea with my mum.
00:22We'd be wrapped in a blanket.
00:24And we'd just be warm together.
00:30Our mum were very close.
00:33It was a real tough time.
00:36I'd said no to every single thing that came my way.
00:40And then Strictly came knocking.
00:43And I thought, yeah, I'm going to do it.
00:46This is my yes year.
00:48And I'm going to do it because I want to be seen.
00:52Because my mum would want me to be seen.
