I was really emotional thinking about how proud my family and friends were going to be. I felt like all my hard work had paid off, it was a dream come true! I just wanted to give Joel a massive hug! I will always remember that moment it was amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n He added: \u201cI\u2019m honestly so proud of myself! Playing Survivor was such an amazing experience, it was really intense. I put everything I had into the game and the experience as a whole, so to be the sole Survivor is such an honour. 34 days living on a beach tested me in so many different ways, there were so many physical, mental and emotional battles that come with an experience as tense as this and I really discovered how resilient I am, and when fight or flight came into play I definitely fought.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
