00:00Would you say your balloon experience is out of this world?
00:04Today's balloon experience has been out of this world.
00:07It's been really interesting to see the whole process from start to finish.
00:11A flat balloon lining a patch of grass and then all of a sudden you balloon it with cold air
00:16first
00:16and then obviously getting the jets on and making the air hot
00:21and then seeing it sort of rise up into the sky
00:24and then being in a small little basket going up with it.
00:27It has been out of this world. It's been incredible.
00:30Do you think you'd see a billion lights if you were to fly in a balloon at night?
00:35I mean, today's been a really clear day
00:37so the likelihood is that we'd see a billion lights if it was flying at night time.
00:43Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, it's 7 o'clock in the morning.
00:47There's not quite a billion lights but it is still very stunning.
00:51Yeah, I told you I was going to be quite overly interesting.
00:54If I was in a dug house, babe, it would bring me out of the bus.
00:58Yeah, this is a good one. I'm sure.
01:00Yeah, heal a heartbreak.
01:03Would you take one shot to fly again in a hot air balloon?
01:06I would absolutely fly again in a hot air balloon.
01:09I'd take as many shots as it would take.
01:11Hopefully it's only one.
01:13And yeah, I'd definitely do it again. It's amazing.
01:16It was quite calming.
01:17Very calming.
01:18And I didn't quite know what to expect, if I'm honest.
01:20I've always wanted to travel in a hot air balloon.
01:23And it's incredible to be able to have such a good version of the new flight.
01:28So, it's been great.
01:30Do you think we could take the beat again and ask a few serious questions about downloading farm?
01:34Absolutely, I'm happy for you to ask any questions you like.
01:37What's the best thing about farming and enjoying the great atmosphere?
01:40The best thing for me about farming is actually the whole process.
01:43I mean, it takes a while sometimes for you to grow and rear your produce.
01:49And the satisfaction you get after the six or nine months or a year sometimes
01:54that it takes to grow the animals is incredible.
01:59For me, I take great pride in what we do, the welfare standards that we employ.
02:05And I think it's something that we should be proud of.
02:08You know, a lot of people can be a bit funny about, you know, the fact that we eat our
02:12animals and so on.
02:13But, as I say, for us, we take great pride in that.
02:16And we know that they've had an incredible life on the farm.
02:19And that they've been, you know, well looked after.
02:22And obviously, we're going to use every single aspect of the animal and the entities of the food chain.
02:29Obviously, needed to say, you know, we thoroughly enjoyed the whole process.
02:33And, you know, it's something that we take great pride in.
02:45And our pilots are very conscious to keep what we call whisper burners out when we fly over like that.
02:50What do you think a balloon flying over the farm would be like?
02:55I don't think you've had a balloon fly over the farm.
02:58I don't think it would cause too much destruction, to be fair.
03:02It's quite, quite, yeah.
03:04I've not experienced it from the ground looking up, but I think it'll be alright.
03:08Our livestock shouldn't be too phased by anyway.
03:11What do your JLS families think of down on the farm?
03:13Have they ever helped out?
03:17The JLS boys are all very, very supportive of down on the farm.
03:21I mean, the three out of the four of us have kids as well.
03:24We've got young kids.
03:25And so I think, you know, they definitely appreciate it.
03:28Obviously, they're hugely supportive of, well, we're all hugely supportive of everything that each of us do.
03:33So the other three are very supportive of what we're trying to do, what I'm doing.
03:37As I say, their kids love down on the farm.
03:39That's always great when they can see Uncle JB on the screen.
03:42And it's nice, you know.
03:44I haven't quite roped any of them in to come and muck out and help out on the farm.
03:48But this time, yeah.
03:49You mentioned that you've got a gorgeous little boy, Ace.
03:52Yeah.
03:52Did he get involved down on the farm?
03:54Is he kind of, or is he?
03:55Ace absolutely loves being on the farm.
03:57He's not quite old enough to be down on the farm on the TV show, but he loves it.
04:02I mean, he can't get enough.
04:04Can't get him inside.
04:05Yeah.
04:06And sometimes, sometimes he'll get really upset if I go without him.
04:10Yeah.
04:11And so it's become a real, you know, real father-son bonding time for us.
04:15But also just to help him learn.
04:16Our families, he's just naturally wanted to get involved in the process and help out feeding,
04:22you know, learn about the animals.
04:23And he can actually teach him without, you know, being too forceful and saying,
04:27you've got to know this, you've got to know that, do this.
04:29Sometimes it doesn't work out, but you know, nine times out of ten, he'll be fully enthusiastic
04:34and want to get involved in the farm.
04:37So hopefully I've got a shoe in for the future and we've got a successor.
04:41Bye.
04:43Bye.
