"You're too kind, Orlando, I love youse! So, today is 16 years since One Direction were formed and if anyone's been following me social media today before about 2PM, I honestly went through the One Direction megahits for about five hours straight top to bottom. I think, honestly, since leaving the band, I probably only done that about twice ever really so it was to have a moment and reminisce, think about the good times. And obviously, when you're looking back like that you just feel the gratitude, I've been so fucking lucky since I've been about 18 years old and I can remember crystal clear, I can remember picking my outfit out for... you've seen it, it's bad innit? It's bad! It was alright at the time though, you know, it looked alright at the time, at least I thought it did. But I can remember picking my outfit out, I can remember going to bootcamp thinking I don't really expect much, truthfully. I've never in a situation like that before in my life [...] I didn't really know what to expect and really I was just there for the experience. I can remember when the producers came up to us and you could see something was going on. Now I'm a big X Factor fan, that's the show that we came up on. I kinda had a feeling of what was happening, it felt really exciting, you've seen similar things happen before and then we got put together, five fucking strangers, crazy shit you know! I feel incredibly lucky to have the career that I've had, sixteen years is fucking crazy, I've got goosebumps saying that now. [fans scream they're proud of him] Thank you, thank you! I'm proud of us, I'm proud of us, I love you! So, yeah a bit emotional today but it's been lovely, it's been a really lovely day, the gig today has been fucking lovely, really, I love youse. Alright, felt myself getting a bit emotional over there, need to reign it in. [...] Alright, here's one of the One Direction songs then." - 23.07
