Jamie, I've got a little surprise for you. So, we contacted Poppy. What? And we said, could you just like, kind of just give us a little note to read out to your dad?

She's done something kind of extraordinary, actually.

16.569 - 17.691 Davina McCall

But I'm going to read it to you.

18.031 - 19.072

She's quite a good writer.

19.092 - 21.174 Davina McCall

She's an extremely good writer.

22.216 - 24.418

Okay. Are you going to get me in bits?

25.462 - 26.004 Davina McCall

I don't know.

Chapter 2: How does a daughter express her gratitude to her dad?

27.632 - 31.147 Davina McCall

But this is beautifully written. Hi, Dad.

When I was asked to write about the impact you've had on our lives, so many things came to my mind. It's funny when you're younger, it's hard to fully appreciate everything your parents do for you. But as I've grown up and started to become my own person, I've come to realise just how much of an influence you've had on me and my siblings. To put it lightly, your impact has been profound.

59.583 - 80.832 Davina McCall

I've always felt lucky to have your steady, unwavering support as a dad. There was never a time I doubted that I could pick up the phone and ask for your help. You've taught us to be ambitious, to push our confidence, still a working process for all of us but no one has encouraged it more than you, to value hard work and to always stay humble.

82.454 - 105.048 Davina McCall

Growing up in a family as wonderfully mad and unique as ours could have gone a very different way. But the way you and mum raised us, kindness is at the heart of everything. It's shaped who we are. I know the younger ones will grow up feeling inspired by all you've done, but right now I know for certain that Daisy and I already are.

106.23 - 128.409 Davina McCall

I think that's a huge reason why we've chosen jobs that reflect the values you've instilled in us. Thank you for letting us be so open, for accepting all our differences and for championing the quirks that make us who we are. Thank you for believing we're capable of more than we think ourselves and for doing everything in your power to make us the best version of ourselves.

129.43 - 141.969 Davina McCall

Above all, I think what's had the biggest impact on me is watching your relationship with mum. Growing up with you both as a team has shaped how I carry myself in my own relationships.

142.99 - 163.465 Davina McCall

You've shown us that nothing is ever completely smooth sailing, but you both seem to weather whatever life throws your way and through all the tough times have come out stronger on the other side with lots of laughs in between. We all love you lots and are so proud of everything you're doing, Poppy.

Chapter 3: What impact does a father's support have on children's ambitions?

170.292 - 173.936

I've messaged her three times and she hasn't replied. That's probably why.

0

174.817 - 181.844 Davina McCall

But you know, that idea of inspiring your kids with the relationship that you have is really special.

0

182.985 - 184.967

Yeah, we're very, very blessed.

187.732 - 205.42 Norman Cook

it strikes me so many people is like, they either want to be their parents or they just desperately don't want to be their parents. Or sort of bits in between. I mean, I definitely, I definitely, as a dad, I would say things to my kids. I'm like, oh, have I heard that before? It's like, oh, my God, I'm turning into my dad.

0

206.181 - 207.443 Davina McCall

Really? Do you say the same things?

207.463 - 221.383 Norman Cook

And it's literally made me feel a little bit sick that I just said that, you know. But then at the same time, the good thing is about your parents. So it's quite weird how, until this moment, I've never really thought, I wonder what's the legacy.

221.718 - 223.201 Davina McCall

What do you think yours is?

223.321 - 229.874 Norman Cook

Whether, if you ask my kids when I'm not around, do you want to be like your dad or do you not want to be like your dad?

229.894 - 233.48 Davina McCall

Well, Woody obviously does. He's DJing, right?

Chapter 4: How do family values shape personal growth?

255.617 - 260.205 Norman Cook

So he's like, I'm going to do what Dad does, but I'm going to put a little bit of pizzazz into it. Plus one. Yeah.

260.426 - 263.443 Davina McCall

I've got a present for you. I've got to find it.

0

263.463 - 264.465 Norman Cook

Is this going to make me cry?

0

264.946 - 265.567 Davina McCall

I hope so.

0

267.069 - 268.832 Norman Cook

Okay. On that caveat.

269.934 - 271.576 Davina McCall

So, you can read it.

273.119 - 273.499 Norman Cook

Right.

273.58 - 273.86 Davina McCall

Ready?

274.1 - 274.481 Norman Cook

Okay.
