I’m more determined than ever to unleash my full potential! There's a fire within me, driving me to achieve greatness in this lifetime. I may not be there yet but I'm committed to giving it my all to leave a positive mark. To those on the verge of giving up. Keep pushing forward

Filmed with BBC Look North this evening and got to work with the amazing Gary Philipson. His kindness and advice since I started presenting over a year ago are invaluable. We need to shine a light on people like him more often!

True success isnt about what we take but by what we give. In a world where the selfish often drag down the selfless, it's easy to feel disheartened but amidst the chaos the rarity of genuine kindness shines even brighter. Keep shining your light you’re making a difference 🔆❤️‍🔥
