Flying to London on Emirates, Kris shared an inspiring social media post, reflecting on his transformative journey with Dubai Bling. In his post, he recalled the moment he agreed to be part of the show, a decision that pushed him out of his comfort zone.

He emphasised the significance of saying 'yes' more often than 'no' and taking risks to grow and reach new heights.

In his heartfelt acceptance speech, Kris expressed his gratitude and excitement. "Waddup London, make some noise. I moved from Australia 16 years ago to set up a radio station called Virgin Radio. I told my parents I'd be here for two [years], but it's been 16 years, and Dubai is the greatest city in the world. I'm so humbled to be here representing Dubai Bling. Many of us had no idea what we were getting into, like many of us in this room."

"But I want to say thank you to Netflix, I want to say thank you to Different Productions that put it all together, and the entire cast. I can't believe I'm going home with this. Thank you very much, appreciate you guys," said Kris, while accepting the award on stage.

The video sharing the emotional moment was met with congratulatory messages from his fellow Dubai Bling cast members, celebrating Kris's well-deserved recognition.
