I just feel really moved by the whole thing, that was amazing
Wiping away tears she told the dancer: “Yes Andrew!
“I just feel really moved by the whole thing, that was amazing.
“To watch you and to see your excitement and to see how much you thrive in front of an audience is such a special moment.”
The Love Made Me Do It hitmaker continued: “You should be really proud of yourself.

As Andrew was praised by the dance captains, his mum and best friend Tom rushed onto the stage to congratulate him.

“Dance has helped Andrew’s confidence and self-esteem.”
