00:00And Chris, how are you doing? Because we heard about your announcement, didn't we?
00:02I think, yeah, what I love about today is it basically puts everything into perspective.
00:09From my point of view, if you can sort of have an experience like that,
00:13and you know, for me it was testicular cancer, and you deal with it and you go through it,
00:18you know, I'll always have to keep an eye on it all, I guess.
00:21But it's so amazing being here today. It makes Wembley Stadium feel a lot less scary.
00:26I've turned up here before and thought, God, this is really intimidating.
00:28But when you go through something like that, I think you feel like you can take on the world.
00:32How did you manage with the outpouring of love and support that everyone's on social media?
00:35I couldn't believe how many people wanted to show their love or share their experiences.
00:41And that's been one of the most amazing things over the last year.
00:43And it does feel like a celebration for last year, the summertime ball.
00:47And one of the most amazing things has been seeing how many people have reached out to us
00:50and now regularly check themselves or these conversations around testicular cancer
00:56with their friends and family and all that.
00:59So look, we're so proud of what we do as a show.
01:01And it's been amazing, from my point of view, how the guys and everyone at Capital has supported me with it
01:06and the good that has come from it.
01:09The irony's not lost that I'm at the summertime ball, the year, you know, I lost one.
01:15But it's, you know, that's what we're here to celebrate.
