00:25 I can take your belief. Actually, Ricky, his mum was a teacher at my daughter's school in Bradford.
00:32 He's called Ricky Wilson, isn't he?
00:35 No, it was the other one. It wasn't Ricky, it was Nickson, what's it called?
00:40 I can't remember, there was another one in the band. Anyway, it was his mum.
00:43 And then when he was doing well, she used to call up at school with her little mini and everything.
00:47 So we knew that he was on the big time.
