00:00Hi. I just thought I'd check in and say an enormous, heartfelt thank you to everybody

00:09who's messaged me or been in touch. It's meant the world. It's been mad. And it's just really

00:29nice to be back home. I'm on the other side. My short-term memory's a bit remiss, but that

00:40is something that I can work on, so I'm really happy about that. I'm writing down everything

00:45that I'm doing to keep myself feeling safe. And I'm being brilliantly looked after by

00:52Michael and my mum. I'd quickly like to say big up the stepmums. I don't really say thank

01:00you to Gabby enough. She's been an amazing rock my whole life. I was talking yesterday

01:11to somebody. I said, I've got a massive dose of vitamin G. I think when something like

01:16this happens, I just feel so grateful. I've always been grateful. I've been really lucky

01:21in my life, but I feel unbelievably grateful right now. So thanks for everything, all of you.

01:29I'm on the mend. I'm resting. I'm sleeping loads. And I feel really good. I just feel very lucky.
