Owain and Jo Whiley had a candid chat after he completed Day 3 of the challenge, discussing the difficulties Owain has experienced in the past. Jo told him: "I know that you're not the most confident of people, which people would not expect at all, from listening to you on the radio, you're so cheerful, you're so bright, but for you to take on this, it demanded a lot of courage." Owain replied, "Yeah, it has, and I've really struggled with my mental health over the years, and there's been a lot of stuff from the self doubt, and having to mask certain parts of my personality, or my emotions when I was younger. And that maybe comes from the fact that I was a young, gay man, and I had no positive role models, but also, just, I just never felt like I fitted in, really. And over the years, my mental health has gone up and down." He went on to talk to Jo Whiley about childhood bullying, saying, “it’s a thing that haunts you way into adulthood.” He encourages parents to “provide a safe environment, show them they are loved unconditionally.” Owain's husband Arran added: "I think people should celebrate uniqueness a lot more," and Jo Whiley agreed: “How boring would it be if we were all the same? It’s what makes the world fabulous.”
