00:00 Right I'm here with Joanne who's just won Ness Factor 2023. How are you feeling?
00:05 Buzzing. I don't think it's sinking in. Just brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
00:11 And what's the biggest thing you've taken from the experience?
00:14 Confidence. I started off with hardly any confidence. If you asked me to sing a song at the start of the year I would run out the door.
00:22 And now I've just stood there and performed in front of over 350 people. So yeah. I don't know.
00:29 And what made you want to do it?
00:31 I've always loved singing. But last year I had a scare in my throat. I had a lump and I had to get it removed and I was just terrified I'd never be able to sing again.
00:44 But it turns out it was a benign bullet. So I just thought, what have I got to lose? So I went for it.
00:50 Amazing. And how are you going to celebrate?
00:52 I don't know. I'm with a drink right now. I don't know. I need it to sink in.
