Through tears, he said: 'Just being able to be vulnerable in front of other people and be honest, be able to speak your truth, which you rarely get to do. In my job, you just make people laugh all the time.
'It was really nice to sit down with a group of people, there's mutual respect, they have their listening ears on, and you can just talk with no judgement.'
Stephen, who had been competing to raise funds for Banksia Pallative Care Service, predicted that Skye, Tristan and Ellie Cole will make the final three on the contest.
Of narrowly missing out on the final himself, he added: 'So close, but yet so far! What a completely enjoyable time it was, thank you so much!'
