๐Ÿ’ซWhile , PROGRESS owner Lee McAteer discussed obtaining visa's for certain talent, while also highlighting Joe Hendry betting on himself by paying for his own and thriving in the United States.

"But if you look at somebody that's absolutely smashed the opportunity, who had to pay a huge amount of money to get that visa in the first place was someone like Joe Hendry. You look at what Joe's achieving now, couldn't be proud of him. He's absolutely fantastic, deserves every single thing that he's getting. But if he was on this show right now, he'd tell you how he had to pay a huge amount of money for his visa, had to do it all himself. But he backed himself to succeed."
