00:00I'd like to think that I teach my little sister to be a kind person.
00:05I got a degree, which I didn't think I would get through.
00:13See, this is why I'm not as good as these people getting these awards,
00:18because I just watch the telly and sometimes I'm on the telly.
00:21The thing is, Brenda still gets to go along and hang out and do the professional dances.
00:25I'm the one that sat at home just crying to myself, thinking about what might have been.
00:31It's quite hard once you're out of the competition.
00:33It doesn't feel particularly nice.
00:35Everyone's still there enjoying it.
00:37Even for me, I'm there.
00:38But it's not the same.
00:39I love the experience.
00:40This is, I said it as we got kicked out.
00:43It's one of the best experiences I've ever had in 15 years.
00:45I don't have words to describe how proud I am of this lady.
00:48She works really hard and every Saturday she delivers an amazing performance.
00:52So I'm super proud of her.
00:54Yeah, and I'm the same, speechless.
00:57I haven't got a vocabulary that says what I would want to say about Giovanni.
01:02At the beginning it was quite overwhelming, but I'm settling into it.
01:07I'm on the judging panel this year and when we sat down around the table,
01:11it was such a difficult one to do because it's been such an awful year this year in the UK.
01:17And it was really hard to choose one story from the next.
01:20But I think they've got some really strong stories.
01:23And I think actually it's nice to be able to celebrate the helpers, the heroes, the survivors
01:27of all the things we've read about in the press this year.
