00:00It's time to give somebody else the opportunity to see how big-hearted and generous you, our One Show viewers,
00:06really are.
00:07It's something that I get to witness every year when you help to change the lives of so many vulnerable
00:12youngsters,
00:13the Rickshaw Challenge for Children in Need.
00:15You know, all that support that you show us, you will never really understand how much that means to me.
00:21And so, I'd like to thank you, and I'd like to pay a huge tribute to all of those who've
00:27ridden over the last nine years.
00:29Of course, I'd like to thank Alex, who I've shared this sofa with for all of these years,
00:35and the teams of people who work on this show all around the UK, the ones who you do not
00:40get to see,
00:41the researchers, the producers, the studio crew, everyone that makes this show feel like a massive, massive family.
00:49And I'm going to miss you all very much indeed, and I thank you all from the bottom of my
00:53heart.
00:54APPLAUSE
00:57I should just add that I am not leaving the BBC completely.
01:01I'm still going to be on Countryfile and presenting the Olympics too,
01:04and I'm very excited about what else is to come in the future.
01:07But, you know, I'll be honest with you, most of all, I'm looking forward to spending evenings with my wife,
01:12Nicola,
01:12and finally getting to put my kids to bed on a night time.
01:16Thank you, everybody, for the most wonderful, random nine years that you could ever wish to experience.
01:22Have a great Christmas, and we're going to leave you now with Michael and Alfie performing The Greatest Show.
01:28See you later.
01:29APPLAUSE
01:30First time, go to the show.
01:30See you later.
01:30The show goes, please.
01:30Just with the show, we're going to be listening to the show.
01:30Go on.
01:30Go on.
01:30Good.
