00:00Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of Our Father's World Heroes 2018 Award is...
00:25It is beyond my imagination, to be fair.
00:29I mean, in the rehearsal, the full dress rehearsal, it didn't go that brilliantly and I just thought,
00:34oh dear, and I was really nervous. So to win it, oh my God, I can't thank people enough who voted.
00:40Yes, yes, thank you to everyone who voted.
00:42Absolutely.
00:43Yes, definitely.
00:44I think they just admire me at my age, doing something like that.
00:47And when Alex said, I'm going to run at you and you're going to go back, you know, and then, yeah, I was like, oh, OK.
00:53I mean, they were just, it was a brilliant routine.
00:56I mean, all the hard work and all the times we'd be driving her insane, we're saying, and again, and again, and again, and again.
01:03The hours and hours of just constantly going through it, more than well deserved.
01:08I'm always dancing. That's what Tears Crown's about as well, actually, because it just makes you feel good.
01:14I mean, that's what came over. We felt good dancing and that's what comes over and it does make you feel good.
01:23It doesn't solve all your problems, but for that moment, it lifts you.
01:28Definitely. Lifted everybody tonight, didn't it?
01:31It did. It lifted the roof. I was like, wow.
01:34And you lifted the glitter.
01:36And the glitter, yes, exactly.
01:38How scared were you of dropping that? I was really scared.
01:43My heart just, it's really swelling with it because it's just so lovely.
01:50Yeah, when you work hard on something and people vote for you, yeah, I didn't see it coming.
