It was much, much harder than I thought and I fully appreciate that it’s a couple of weeks away but to Sienna, at her age, I’m on the other side of the world - she doesn’t get to see me and speak to me on the phone and stuff.

"I’m a single parent as well, so when I’m with Sienna it is me and her. I think once I get on screen, hopefully she can watch it with a smile on her face and have a good laugh at Dad, and hopefully Dad doesn’t embarrass her too
