“I wasn’t sure whether or not to do it but then I put something on Instagram about it and I just had so many responses from fans saying yes you’ve got to do this, we’ll come if you do the show’.

“I didn’t have any idea people still really cared for it and it was just really touching and then I felt it was something I had to - it’s 10 years and I’m still doing this, it’s pretty crazy.”
