00:00What the BBC are now actually discussing is to have chaperones in the training room now,
00:06which I actually personally think is a good idea.
00:08Would you have wanted a chaperone when you did it?
00:10Obviously not. No, I don't want a chaperone.
00:12Do you know what I mean? You just want to enjoy yourself.
00:14To be fair, there was always people present because there was always a camera.
00:18Well, there wasn't always, so probably out of the five days training a week,
00:23you'd probably have cameras at the studio with you, maybe three of those days.
00:27You felt safe and secure.
00:29Yeah, absolutely. I had Ali Ash and he made me feel safe and secure.
00:32He was a brilliant teacher. I loved working with him.
00:35I never had any issues whatsoever.
00:38But there was always people around filming the rehearsals and stuff like that.
00:42It was probably about two days a week where I was alone with just me and Ali Ash rehearsing.
00:47But I personally wouldn't mind to have a chaperone if it's going to safeguard people.
