00:00No, it means an awful lot. It's a tremendous honour. It's something that has been very humbling. It's been a bit of a surreal experience, to be honest.
00:14We found out around 3.34 on Tuesday afternoon. I got this mysterious Irish number calling me and found out when I picked it up, it was a Wigan accent that I was hearing. After a little bit of misunderstanding, we got to the question.
00:37Not because of the accent, by the way, just because the phone was breaking up.
00:40But no, it's just been incredible and I'm just very excited to get going.
