01:25 - You had Anton's speech, you had Kim Marsh screaming,
01:27 you had your brothers going wild.
01:29 It was just great.
01:31 - Kim Marsh wouldn't shut up, man.
01:33 (laughs)
01:34 That's all I could hear throughout the whole dance
01:36 is Kim Marsh.
01:37 - And I feel like you said something about, you know,
01:39 you went from no jobs two years ago to two jobs now,
01:43 Waterloo Road, now this.
01:44 I think you actually did a lot for a lot of people
01:46 that realize that things can seem a bit rough at times,
01:49 but there's something happening around the corner.
01:51 And I think you really helped a lot of people.
01:53 - Yeah, definitely.
01:55 You know, like I left Eminem not long ago
01:58 and then, you know, it really worked
01:59 and became like an estate agent.
02:01 And then, you know, you just have to just keep with it.
02:04 You never know what's around the corner.
02:05 And, you know, when you think your time is up
02:07 or you get a phone call, you know,
02:10 saying that they're gonna bring Waterloo Road back.
02:12 And, you know, anything can happen.
02:15 And yeah, again, like two years ago,
02:16 I didn't know what I was doing
02:18 or what career path I was gonna take.
02:20 And now I'm doing, you know, a show that I love,
02:22 which is Waterloo Road,
02:23 and also another show that I love, which is Strictly.
02:26 So yeah, feeling very blessed and very lucky.
02:29 - People at home going, "Esa will be in my house."
02:31 (laughing)
02:33 - Yeah, pretty much, yeah.
02:35 - And what about the kids?
02:37 Is Teddy dancing?
02:38 Like what's happening with their dance kind of journey?
02:41 - Yeah, you know what?
02:42 - Like Teddy's dancing with me all the time.
02:44 - Yeah, Teddy loves to dance with Lou, but like-
02:46 - I love to dance with Teddy.

02:53 They just absolutely love it.
02:55 But yeah, I don't know what it is.
02:57 I feel like my kids like me a lot more now.
02:59 I don't know what it is.
03:00 I feel like I'm like a cool dad now.
03:03 You know, I've got my little daughter comes home
03:05 and she says that she watches our dance every assembly.
03:08 They get it up at school and stuff.
03:10 And yeah, I was saying to her, "What's it like?
03:12 "Are you embarrassed?"
03:13 Or she was like, "No, I like it, Dad.
03:14 "I like it."
03:16 So yeah, it's cute.
03:17 It's really cute.
03:18 And you know, again, I'm going on my own little journey
