British Gymnastics is more than just a sport to me.
It's given me so many opportunities that I wouldn't have had
if I hadn't started gymnastics when I was a little kid.
I've been to so many internationals, travelled the world,
met some fantastic people along the way
and it's just been fantastic to compete
and especially for British Gymnastics.
Apart from the competition,
I've performed with Spellbound who were the acrobatic troop
who went on Britain's Got Talent and won back in 2010.
Once we won Britain's Got Talent we had so much media,
you know, exposure, not only for us and for Spellbound,
but also for the sport of acrobatics.
Sometimes when we go to shows and things,
everybody is asking for autographs and photos and things,
especially when you go to busy shopping malls, like this,
people see you perform and then they realise -
'Oh, actually we really want to see these people.'
You know, we've been on TV shows, like the Paul O'Grady show,
Alan Titchmarsh, loads of shows, I can't remember all of them
but just to meet at them people is just fantastic
and it's just promoted the sport -
acrobatics and gymnastics as well, which was fantastic.
You know, it's given so many opportunities for us.
