I've just seen several people on Twitter saying they'd watched Gareth present the award at Blackpool on Webcast. Haven't got time to search it out as off to CofE but if anyone finds how to watch it would love to see it when I get home.

Looks like this was taken at the awards

Just found a link to the Webcast but its nearly an hour long so I'll have to wait to watch it.

Gareth appears in two of the videos. In the one with a time of 8.48pm, he is at the start singing 'Heaven' and 'Angel On My Shoulder', then at 55.18mins in he sings 'Anyone Of Us' while a girl dances. Finally at 2h 46.30mins he presents awards to the best three Dances of the Year - he doesn't speak but there is a bit of larking about, including picking up the compere and carrying her off and standing on the winners rostrum (as in the Olympics).

In the second video (11.49pm), he is at 19.45-39.00mins singing 'Suspicious Minds', 'Spirit In The Sky', 'Livin' On A Prayer' and 'Don't Stop Me Now', which many line danced to. Gareth seemed delighted with everyone dancing in unison while he sang and he took a photo on his camera while singing SM. His speech was excellent and obviously not in anyway rehearsed, as he was just reacting to what was going on.

It was an unexpected pleasure to be able to see these performances and so lovely that they were recorded.

Thanks to Linda for giving us the video times, and also to Sue for finding the right video, as I couldn't find it either lol . It's the one as you say after the vid with the pic of Gareth, it is called The Show ,it has a green background . I am so pleased that I didn't miss this one as it is fantastic :thumbsup:

Thanks for drawing my attention to the other video Heather. I'd completely missed that there was another one.

And thank you Ramona and Linda for finding it. Really enjoyed this one especially the bit at the end where Gareth was presenting the award and the runner-up and the lady comparing wouldn't let him go. Bet it made the compare's day when he picked her up.
