00:00You said your lovely little girl Sophie, he's only 11,

00:03before it was quite nervous. She said,

00:04Dad, what if you fall over? I don't want you to feel embarrassed.

00:08She was looking out for you.

00:09She fed off my anxiety because I couldn't really...

00:11I was terrified and I couldn't really hide it that well.

00:15And so she was nervous for me.

00:17And, you know, the first show when we did the cha-cha-cha,

00:23she was so nervous.

00:25And as soon as we started dancing down the dance floor,

00:27she burst out crying.

00:28And she got better throughout the series

00:31and was able to enjoy it.

00:33She threw things at the telly when Craig was on.

00:36What did she call him?

00:37Hey, she calls him a bum.

00:39Even after the final, even after he gave us a ten

00:41and said something nice, she couldn't forgive the two eights.

00:44I love her. That's the kind of loyalty you want from your family.

00:47How is she now? I mean, because in a way,

00:48because when I did it, you know,

00:50you are taken away from your family.

00:52It seems odd because you do go home,

00:54but actually mentally, emotionally,

00:56you're sort of in a whirlwind.

00:58And so therefore, you have been away from her

01:01in many ways, haven't you?

01:02It consumes you in terms of needing earlier bedtimes,

01:06in terms of your mind not being,

01:09your mind being exhausted when you're at home.

01:11And, you know, you're constantly,

01:13you're counting your steps around the house, you know.
