It seems no one else knew what Joe had been through apart from those closest to him and after watching the bio on him yesterday I must echo what others have said, it makes his win all the more amazing!

I'm not sure if Joe comes on here but if you do Joe you're an inspiration to us all, showing us that if you want something enough it is there for you to take.
The head Geek speaks of the Brass factor and handling presusure, well that's your example right there! a young man doing it the hard way, making it to the TV rounds and holding it together to win and as we now know only weeks after losing his dad.
Well done Joe. it will be a honour to meet you sometime.
