Arthur Gourounlian admits he's 'nervous'
The Armenian native highlighted the importance of his kids being able to travel with passports as his childhood did not present the same opportunity.
Arthur grew up in a war torn environment where his family were forced to flee their home during the First Nagorno-Karabakh War.
Along with his parents, sister, aunt and cousin, the choreographer sought asylum in Brussels.
LIFE CHANGING
The brave star has been open about his tough experience as an asylum seeker growing up.
Speaking on RTE Radio One he said: "When all that started we literally packed our bags going on holiday I think our visa was going to Denmark and we just left we left everything.
"Imagine packing your bag going to Spain and never coming back and that's exactly what we did.
"I remember all that. It was surreal leaving the country but I was always protected by my mother she's my idol, she's done everything for me."
The dancer added: "I remember we didn't have any money to go to Denmark to get a train and my sister was just standing there and somebody just gave money to her because they thought she was homeless.
"So that money actually helped us to go to Belgium hence why we ended up in Belgium.
"And then we had to claim asylum and be refugees and that's where it all started back in 1994. So Belgium kind of saved my life really."
