He mentioned that his daughters, Victoria and Mila, reminded him of the beauty of life, even when it felt unbearable. His ex-wife Mandy extended a hand of kindness he will never forget, and his son, Schoolboy, showed strength beyond his years.
The comedian also spoke about a scandal that rocked his career, revealing that it exposed fake friends and those sabotaging his peace. Despite the challenges, Angel found solace in his faith and the support of his loved ones. He emphasized that 2024 taught him resilience, faith, and the true meaning of grace.
