'I can only hope that we are able to help to steer the ship as beautifully as they have, into this new chapter.'

'I adore Emma and Jojo and can't wait to spend my weekends with them. I'll dust off the penguin costume.'

Johannes said that being given the opportunity to host was 'beyond anything I ever imagined'.
