00:00What was your initial reaction when you first got the call that you'd be performing at the Eliminations?
00:06I couldn't believe it, because this is going to be the biggest live audience that I've ever performed in, in front of.
00:14So I was super nervous, super excited, very surreal moment, this is like, OK, this is happening.
00:21Serious, it was great, it was good, I'm excited.
00:24What would be your message to everyone who's come out to celebrate the Eliminations and to you performing tonight live?
00:31Massive thank you, massive thank you, enjoy your evening and never give up on your dreams, because I'm so glad I didn't, I nearly did, but you know, I don't know.
00:41If it was the biggest crowd and it was such a moment for you, how did your family react when you told them, what was the reaction to the moment?
00:49I don't think they understood how many people came.
00:52So my mum looked this morning and then booked a train and she's just got here, she's just up there, she couldn't believe it, she couldn't miss it.
01:02Have you been to Blackpool before?
01:05No, my first time.
01:07What's been your first impressions?
01:10Well, the sun is great, it is like I'm in a different country to be honest, this is like the strip, everyone's having the best time.
01:19I'm, you know, party town, am I right, party central, party central? I feel that, I'm excited for the nightlife, I'm not going to lie, I can imagine it's like pumping.
01:33So it'll be your first time at the Eliminations as well?
01:36Yeah, absolutely, so this is massive, I'm excited.
01:40That's great.
