Twitter Breaks the Silence—And Support Floods In

Speaking from his Ryde home, Derek stayed upbeat, saying,

“Well, well, well, what can I say… A man with a cabbage on his head, a man with a tambourine, and a man ‘farting’ with his hands made the semi-finals! A BIG thank you for the island’s support. Thanks to the Council and tourist board for recognising how I’ve raised the Isle of Wight’s profile. And of course, thanks BGT for getting the Island back on the map!”

He added that missing out gives him more time to focus on his new role as the Island’s official ambassador.
