You guys know, I love live TV. It's so great, and all of the things that happen in the moment."He went on to recall the sweet moment he had to lift up young Corrie star Jude Riordan for his speech as he wasn't tall enough to reach the microphone.Ten years old at the time, Jude scooped up the Best Newcomer award and took to the stage in an adorable tuxedo.Joel admitted the panicked director had told him to "do something" as.
