If you 0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:51.040 miss Summer's performance as a singing bad Avocado, you can 0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:53.800 check it out on tenplay because it was fantastic to 0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:56.520 see Shane Waran's youngest daughter having a good time with 0:00:56.600 --> 0:00:59.360 a gorgeous tribute to her father. Some has had a 0:00:59.480 --> 0:01:02.960 very inter start to life, with both parents being absolutely 0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:05.360 hounded by the media day in and day out since 0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:07.960 the day she was born. Since the passing of her 0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:10.600 father in twenty twenty two, there has been so much 0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:14.119 interest and support for his three kids, and this particular 0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:17.120 appearance was really special to see because she made this 0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:19.720 fitting tribute to her dad. I have to say I 0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:21.920 had tears in my eyes and I don't think I'll 0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:24.679 ever really listen to that Coldplay song Yellow the same 0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:27.560 way ever again. I will ask some aer about the 0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:29.720 way in which she found herself on the show and 0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:32.280 if her siblings would ever get up and sing on 0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:35.360 a show like this. Somemer will talk about her famous 0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:38.240 father's famous friends and what she really thought of his 0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:41.360 ability to connect with people from all walks of life. 0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:44.319 We will talk about Summer's singing ability and where she 0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:47.120 would like to turn up next. I personally think that 0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:49.880 the team at Neighbors would be fools not to have 0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:52.800 her on a show now that that series has come back. Plus, 0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:55.200 we will get plenty of exclusives from behind the scenes 0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:57.800 of The Mass Singer, which returns next Monday night on 0:01:57.920 --> 0:01:59.960 Network ten and if you've fallen a little bit behind, 0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:01.880 please go and check it out as you can do 0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:05.360 so on Tenplay. Anyway, let's bring someone into the podcast 0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:07.920 and guys, I really hope you enjoyed this really fun 0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:11.799 episode of TV Reload. Hi Ben, Hi Summer, how are you? 0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:13.360 I'm good? Thank you? How are you? 0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:16.200 I am very excited to be talking to you, because 0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:18.400 you know what, it's kind of funny how much, well, 0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:20.160 kind of funny and a bit weird, how much we 0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:22.720 as Australians feel like we know you, like that we 0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:23.800 look out for you. 0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:26.640 It's so bizarre, I know, but it's so sweet, like 0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:29.600 hearing everyone like all the support and all the comments 0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:32.760 people are saying, like it's just so heartwarming. And you know, 0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:35.200 if someone said a bad thing or commented like why 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:37.560 she on the show, she doesn't deserve it, like every 0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:39.960 one of them just claps back and go, well excuse me, 0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:42.800 she was actually bloody brilliant. So yeah, it's really nice 0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:45.160 for people to come together and kind of support me 0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:47.359 and stick up for me. It's really lovely. 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:49.639 We are so invested, I think you know. When Ash 0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:52.560 has said, Summer warn the youngest daughter of Shane warn. 0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:54.400 I felt like it was a moment. It was a 0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:55.120 real moment. 0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:58.680 Yeah, it was just kind of like it was so surreal. 0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:01.240 And you know, here here I should say that I 0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:03.359 was like, oh my god, like this is really happening. 0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:06.359 Like I kind of never thought that this would ever happen. 0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:08.600 But because you know, I love the show, Like you know, 0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:10.480 I'd watched the show all the time, and for them 0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:12.520 to approach me like do you want to come on it? 0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:14.960 I'm like, oh my god, Like really you really want 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:15.520 me on the show. 0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:17.760 This is kind of strange. But like, would your siblings 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:19.440 have done this show? Would Brook or Jackson have said 0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:21.519 yes to doing this? Is it? Are you the black 0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:24.320 sheep of the family that it will take this crazy 0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:25.520 ludicrous offer up? 0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:28.800 Yeah. Look, I think Jackson doing sas I think that 0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:31.640 was his calling. I don't think he'd ever do this. 0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:34.360 I don't think Brook would ever do this. Yeah, I 0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:36.920 mean this is kind of my thing. It's kind of 0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:39.880 up my alley with their singing and the dancing and 0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:42.400 you know the whole kind of theatrical part of it. 0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:45.240 It's definitely my calling. And I think Brook's got her 0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:48.640 cooking and Jackson's got his training and that kind of thing, 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:51.680 and I think I'm the little star of the bad aver. 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:54.320 You can you're the bad Avocado the family. But you 0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:56.839 know what Brook can go and do like master Chef, 0:03:57.040 --> 0:04:00.160 like maybe that you know what we deserve to have 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:03.600 you all on a show this year. You know when 0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:06.280 you when you looked up while you were singing Yellow, 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:08.880 I had tears in my eyes. Like when you were 0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:12.280 singing it back with your mask off, did you tears 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:13.520 watching it back? Last night? 0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:16.120 Yeah? I was in tears. I mean because on the 0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:17.880 show I kind of was like, no, I'm going to 0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:19.800 keep it together. I'm not going to cry, you know, 0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:21.159 I just want to get the song out there. I 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:22.560 want to get what I have today out there because 0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:25.000 when I cry, I can't stop. And I just was like, 0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:27.800 I want to compose myself and then after the show's finich, 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:30.159 then I'll have my kind of moment. But yeah, I 0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:32.880 think I didn't cry because I was so rushing adrenaline, 0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:34.960 Like all this adrenaline kicked in and I kind of 0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:37.960 went okay, you know, toge went into let's go onto 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:40.640 this mode where we just focus on, you know, getting 0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:43.120 it done. But yeah, last night it was so emotional. 0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:45.360 Everyone was crying and it was it was just hearing 0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:47.479 it back and kind of looking I was like, wow, 0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:48.320 I really did that. 0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:50.320 I was just so emotional. I wanted to say though 0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:53.039 to you today, thank you for doing the show. Like 0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:55.080 I think it would have been a lot, but it 0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:57.720 meant so much to me watching it. I mean, my 0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:00.040 partner didn't even cry at all, he didn't flinch. He 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:02.520 was basically in a TikTok hole and he looked for 0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:05.920 me and he was like, what is going on? And 0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:07.760 I'm like, you were missing one of the most powerful 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:10.520 moments of television history. What's wrong with you? 0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:13.360 You know? Oh, that's so sweet. Thank you? That means 0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:13.680 a lot. 0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:15.760 I mean, so, how do you get involved in a 0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:18.000 show like this? I mean, Stephen Tate obviously reaches out 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:20.800 to a lot of people. Did how did it come 0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:23.200 across your table? I kind even imagine an email sliding 0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:24.440 in and asking you about this. 0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:28.000 Yeah. So one of my family friends, she works at 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:30.880 Channel ten, and she know she does the project, and 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:35.160 my dad's personal assistant, Helen, who's been in my life 0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:37.440 as long as I can remember. She was speaking to 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:39.640 Helen about it. She goes, you know, I know, someone 0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:42.039 loves to sing and act and dance, would she ever 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:44.279 do it? And H sorry I call it h but 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:47.880 she kind of was like, ah, you know maybe, I mean, 0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:50.160 you know, even if she says no, she's doing the show. 0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:52.240 And I kind of just like, oh, okay, but yeah, 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:54.320 I mean that's kind of how it came about. Helen 0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:56.000 was talking to me about it. She was saying, you know, 0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:58.560 I think this is a perfect opportunity for you, and 0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:01.000 kind of snapped me into motion being summer, like, there's 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:03.000 no way you're not doing the show. I'm sorry. I 0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:05.200 was like, no, like I don't know, but yeah, I 0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:07.560 mean that's kind of how it happened. I mean, I 0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:09.800 didn't sign up. I didn't kind of I wasn't really 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:11.960 putting myself out there. It kind of just tacked. 0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:13.960 But you weren't knocking on their doors. You weren't sending 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:16.760 them emails late at night or shooting some text messages, 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:17.039 you know. 0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:21.760 No, No, I wasn't putting avocados in their mail box 0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:23.760 or you know, send me the BOCAMOI know, it just 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:25.400 kind of just kind of happened. 0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:27.640 How did they come up with this idea for the 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:29.680 bad avocado? I mean did you kind of laugh when 0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:32.240 that was presented to you or did you have saying it? 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:34.839 No, I didn't have any say in it. You literally 0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:36.839 just get given what you're given. It's like what you 0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:38.440 were told when you're you know, six years old. You 0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:40.080 get what you get and you don't get upset. That's 0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:43.880 kind of what happened. And you know that was me. 0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:46.560 I hat a Zoom meeting and it was you know, 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:48.400 you're going to be the bad Avocado and you're going 0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:50.560 to be sassy and you're going to you know, run 0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:53.360 them up on stage. And I was like, yep, all right, yep, okay, 0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:55.680 I'll be the bad Avocado. Did best as I can, 0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:57.640 but you know, I loved it. It was so much 0:06:57.640 --> 0:06:59.640 fun and I'm so glad I got that costume. 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:01.840 It was so good. I mean, I couldn't work out. 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:03.479 You know, when you've sung your first song in the 0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:06.760 first week the other dancers were kind of being mean 0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:08.360 to you, and Melby was like, oh, they. 0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:09.160 Mean to her? 0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:11.440 What was that? Is that a clue? Was that something 0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:13.480 to do with your story? I didn't understand why that 0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:14.040 was happening. 0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:16.640 No, it was kind of just like, I mean, just 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:20.600 the storyline. Really, I mean, yeah, I had no idea 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:23.240 what was going on. I didn't really I couldn't really 0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:25.120 see anything. I didn't know. And then when I kind 0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:27.360 of watched it back, I went, I'm getting bullied by 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:29.320 some toast. That's the books. 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:31.560 You gotta laugh at it. I mean, you love that's right. 0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:34.600 It was just a storyline. I mean for the bad avocado. 0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:36.760 I guess I'm going rotten, so they don't want me 0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:40.080 on the toast. And yeah, that was kind of cooled 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:42.520 to a day and just went, ah, right, no worries. 0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:44.760 Well, you know, I remember your dad saying yes to 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:47.200 doing I'm a Celebrity. There's a big hoo are about it. 0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:48.960 And I remember a friend of mine works on the 0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:51.240 show and was so excited to get your dad on board. 0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:54.160 And the main reason why he said to the casting 0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:56.240 people of that show and the producers was he was 0:07:56.240 --> 0:07:58.360 doing it for you kids, because he thought that your 0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:00.800 kids loved that show. What was that like for him 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:03.000 to be on I'm a Celebrity, Get get me out 0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:04.720 of here. Is that a big moment for you guys? 0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:09.640 I think he was just really trying to get your attention. Yeah, 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:12.880 it was something he'd never done before and she was 0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:16.200 just like, you know, I've done cricket, I've done sport, 0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:19.080 but I've never really held spiders, have been in the 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:22.200 jungle and sleep eating. I don't even know what he 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:24.800 ate what coke croshes for a living for the as 0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:26.400 long as he was in there. But yeah, I think 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:29.440 he kind of just wanted to make us proud, and 0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:32.880 he kind of just wanted to, you know, probably do 0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:36.160 something he's never done before, and everyone appreciated it and 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:38.960 everyone thought he did a huge job. From memory, I 0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:40.280 think he came third, or. 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:42.160 I always think he won. You know what, It's so 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:44.600 weird with these reality shows that after about two years 0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:47.400 you just remember who was the biggest icon of the series. 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:49.480 So for me, I can't remember. I'm like, oh, shame 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:50.600 one he won that series. 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:54.360 Yeah, yeah, he had so much fun. I just remember 0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:57.640 him coming back and going, oh my god, you are skinny. 0:08:57.880 --> 0:09:00.280 He lost so much weight on that show, and I 0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:01.800 think that he was so happy. It was like, look 0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:04.520 at me, look at me, Look how good I look. 0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:07.200 He lost all the party pis and potato cake waite, 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:09.080 but I think that's what he was pretty happy about 0:09:09.120 --> 0:09:09.520 as well. 0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:11.960 Real I mean, it's a great weight Loss program. I mean, 0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:14.480 this is this next question doesn't go hand in hand. 0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:16.640 But I actually think your mom should do The Jungle. 0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:18.960 And for years I've been throwing that out there. I'm like, 0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:20.880 I think your mom, Yeah, would she ever do a 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:21.400 show like that? 0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:24.640 Yeah? I wanted to go and Survivor because she was. 0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:27.440 She's so like, she's so good at that kind of 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:30.480 yoga and all that stuff, and not the Survivor of 0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:31.600 the Jungle has anything. 0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:33.839 Yoga's good for it, the yoga's good for a good 0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:35.400 civil yep. Yeah. 0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:38.040 I just think she has such a calm mind and 0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:40.600 she's got such a kind of peaceful kind of thing 0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:42.800 that she could actually I think it's all just mind 0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:44.480 of the matter, Like, well, if you put your mind 0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:46.160 to something, you could do it. And I think if 0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:48.319 she if she could probably do it. But I think 0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:50.160 she would just struggle with the food. I think she 0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:51.120 would actually starve. 0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:53.400 Yeah, but that's okay, that's just a part of it. 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:56.760 It's an experience, tell mom, live it up experience. 0:09:57.760 --> 0:09:57.920 You know. 0:09:58.000 --> 0:10:00.839 My dad also knew lots of famous people growing up. 0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:03.440 You know, he was always around them, but were as 0:10:03.559 --> 0:10:06.080 kids never blinked an eye about the types of people 0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:07.880 that he was hanging out with because we didn't care. 0:10:08.400 --> 0:10:11.440 Did you take much notice of the people that your 0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:13.840 mum and dad would mix with, considering that they were 0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:15.960 all such high profile celebrities. 0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:19.000 Yeah, I mean, you know, it was really funny. Actually, 0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:23.640 when my dad started dating Elizabeth Hurley, I was a 0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:26.400 huge fan of her because I would watch I know 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:28.880 it probably sounds weird, but I was eight years old 0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:31.640 and I was watching Austin Powers and I just loved 0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:34.480 that movie so much. Same and when he kind of said, 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:37.280 you know, like I went they had not and he 0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:39.040 was like, no, no, I am, And I thought that 0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:41.920 was just so cool. But you know, Dad's met so 0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:45.640 many people over the years, like from Ed Sheeran, Chris Martin, 0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:50.040 The Rock, Leonardo DiCaprio, like all those people. I didn't 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:52.680 really appreciate it when I was younger, but now that 0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:54.920 I'm grown up, I'm like, oh my god, why didn't 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:57.000 he take me with him when he had these meetings? 0:10:57.000 --> 0:10:59.720 Like it's just, yeah, it's pretty It's pretty unreal that 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:01.720 he to meet all those amazing people. 0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:03.680 I know. I mean that Colplay story that was on 0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:05.680 TV last night is just so epic. And I mean, 0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:07.280 if you didn't have the photos to back it up. 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:10.760 You just wouldn't believe it. You know, they're not having 0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:16.280 such a great time of His connections with people was legendary, you. 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:19.800 Know, yeah, exactly, And I think that's what people loved 0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:21.880 about him. I mean, you know, it didn't matter who 0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:24.320 you were. It didn't matter if you were a janitor, 0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:26.720 you worked at Cohle's, or you were the higher CEO, 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:29.720 or you know, you were a great businessman. Like he 0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:32.760 treated everyone with the same and everyone with the same respect, 0:11:32.800 --> 0:11:35.880 and he gave people the time of day, and he 0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:38.320 really listened to people and what people had to say. 0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:40.280 And that's why I think everyone was so touched and 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:43.080 moved and thought that you know, the media portrayed him 0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:45.880 as this kind of villain and this person that you know, 0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:48.959 was just so different to who he actually was. And 0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:52.040 when the memorial happened and you know, all these amazing 0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:55.319 things were shown and spoke about him, everyone kind of went, 0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:57.600 oh wow, like I didn't know that about him, And 0:11:57.920 --> 0:12:00.080 you know, I just think that he would just be 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:03.680 really happy of how much respect and appreciated appreciation people 0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:04.200 have shown. 0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:07.640 Yeah, I think the interesting thing about the Australian media 0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:10.120 is the tall poppy syndrome. Though. We love to build 0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:11.960 people up and then we tear them down. And it 0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:14.520 was so interesting no matter what mud they threw at 0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:16.559 your dad, he was so good at being able to 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:19.240 own it and still be himself and not let it 0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:21.080 get to him. And I think that was a really 0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:23.400 beautiful story for him. And then it was sort of like, 0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:25.959 of course that everyone came together and celebrated him, and 0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:28.440 it's sad that that happened sometimes when people pass. But 0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:31.320 the ultimate thing with him was that people loved him. 0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:34.200 You know, he was yeah, exactly, and I think that's 0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:37.560 what you know, people would kind of bash him behind 0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:39.840 his back and then be nice to his face or 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:42.200 kind of just pretend to know him and kind of 0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:44.240 you know, oh yeah, I know Shane, or kind of 0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:46.800 name drop him, and you know, he was just so 0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:50.080 he was such a good guy that he just wouldn't 0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:52.280 kind of let that get to him and still treated 0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:54.760 everyone with the same respect. And the only time he 0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:57.160 would kind of put people online and tell people to 0:12:57.200 --> 0:12:59.520 get started was when if they had a bad word 0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:02.680 to say about Brooke Jackson and myself, And you know, 0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:04.840 he said, you can say is whatever you want about me, 0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:07.720 but not about my kids because they didn't choose this life, 0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:10.120 and you know, they're just trying to live their life 0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:13.280 as you know, as well as they can without me 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:15.640 getting in the way. And you know, he would apologize 0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:18.320 for things getting said about us, but you know, we 0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:20.520 always just said it's not your fault. You were really 0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:22.840 good at what you did and everyone loves you, and 0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:25.040 I just think that we're so proud of you no 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:25.520 matter what. 0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:27.120 Well, I think that's part of the reason why we 0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:29.920 were I think Australia was in tears last night because 0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:33.080 you could feel how proud he was because of that 0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:34.920 look that he had on his face whenever he spoke 0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:37.840 about his children. You know. So I lost my father 0:13:37.880 --> 0:13:40.560 to sudden death very similarly, you know, years ago, So 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:43.560 like I think that's prob why it touched me. But 0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:45.880 I just thought I could never have done what you 0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:48.240 what you did last night, and I just thought it 0:13:48.400 --> 0:13:52.080 was just so powerful to watch you and you know, 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:54.079 all the stuff that you know he must have gone through. 0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:56.440 I think it obviously has helped you as well. I 0:13:56.440 --> 0:13:58.640 mean I can imagine did it help you work out 0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:00.840 who was who were the eating it's in this world 0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:01.520 and who weren't. 0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:04.920 Yeah, I mean, I go through there's so much stuff 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:07.080 in the media and stuff that get says about says 0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:09.440 says about me, and I'm just kind of like, you know, 0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:11.839 I could take the one path and go you know 0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:15.000 what FM stuff that nut or I could go the 0:14:15.000 --> 0:14:17.720 way that Dad went and not let any words get 0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:19.720 to him. And he focused on himself and he did 0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:21.720 what made he did, what made him happy at the 0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:23.440 end of the day, and that worked for him. And 0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:25.840 you know, it took amazing courage for me to get 0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:28.240 up there. But I think that's kind of I hope 0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:30.160 to inspire people that, you know, if I can do it, 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:32.240 anyone can. If you have a dream, go for it. 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:34.480 You know, don't let the insecurity of that little voice 0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:36.640 inside your head saying that you're not strong enough, because 0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:38.680 if you believe in yourself and you've got people around 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:40.760 you that support you, then that's all that really matters. 0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:44.320 Oh my god, something. So you're so wise beyond your years. 0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:46.880 I mean I was all morning knowing I was talking 0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:48.920 to you. I was so excited about it because I 0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:51.120 just think that, you know, you did such a great 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:53.600 job and I just thought you'd have some amazing insights. 0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:55.920 I mean, had you rubbed shoulders with any of those 0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:57.880 judges before? Have you ever met Hughsey? I felt like 0:14:57.920 --> 0:15:00.280 Hughesy looked at you like he kind of knew you 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:02.280 did any of those judges. Had you met any of 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:03.400 them before in real life? 0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:07.560 I hadn't met mel B or Abby, but I've met 0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:09.840 I think I've met Chrissy a few times because my 0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:14.960 mom and her, I think cross paths a bit. And Husey. Yeah, 0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:17.240 I've met Hughsy before. I'm pretty sure, but I mean 0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:19.920 I was so young, so I can't really remember. But yeah, 0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:22.880 I think I've definitely crossed paths with them over the years. 0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:25.000 So I think that's why they were like, oh my god. 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:26.960 And you know, I spoke to them after the show 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:29.160 and they were just saying, how proud you know, Dad 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:31.280 would be, and they were just so happy. 0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:32.880 For me, of course, of course. And were you happy 0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:36.160 with all those clues? I mean the clues that were great? 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:36.520 Yeah? 0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:37.920 Good, weren't they They were good clues? 0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:40.520 I thought, yeah, I thought I thought they were really 0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:44.200 great because after you kind of go, oh, okay, the 0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:46.280 cricket ball and then oh, that's why they did the 0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:48.880 sun for the sum of the first name, and then 0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:50.520 you know, there was a lot that kind of goes, 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:53.240 oh my god, Yeah, like makes so much sense. 0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:55.720 I think it's amazing. I mean, you've never done anything 0:15:56.240 --> 0:15:57.840 like this before. Do you think that you'll do any 0:15:57.840 --> 0:15:59.840 more television or is this just a once off? I 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:02.440 think you've got a great voice, so maybe to do 0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:04.560 more with your singing. What are you going to do next? 0:16:05.200 --> 0:16:07.520 Look, I hope so. I mean my main passion has 0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:11.200 kind of always been acting, Like I've always wanted to act, 0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:13.880 and you know, kind of being in that kind of industry. 0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:16.680 I never really took singing seriously, and I was just 0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:18.800 my whole life. I've kind of wanted I've done acting 0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:21.280 classes and kind of things, so I always thought that 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:23.280 was my calling. But the feedback that I've got from 0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:26.720
