Josh Ford turned emotional when he spoke about his late father, as well as the friends he lost in a tragic car accident, hoping that they were proud of him even though he did not end up as a Big Winner in "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition."

In his GMA Integrated News interview with Aubrey Carampel alongside her fellow ex-PBB housemates, which aired on Monday, the Sparkle star said that he will still do his best even though he did not win the reality show. 

"Andito pa rin ako. Nakangiti pa rin sa harapan ninyo and I love you guys and I hope proud kayo sa 'kin na kahit hindi ako nanalo," he said, getting all choked up. 

"Kahit hindi ako naging Big Winner, gagalingan ko pa rin. Smile lang, kasi hindi mo alam kung anong mangyayari bukas. So be thankful, be thankful everyday. I love you guys, thank you for making me the person I am now." 

In 2023, Josh was involved in a car accident that claimed the life of his fellow Sparkle actor Andrei Sison and two other people: the driver, Paolo Bueza and another passenger named Arman Velasco. 

Josh was the lone survivor of the car accident. 

On Father's Day recently, Josh paid tribute to his late dad by sharing on Facebook a heartwarming old video of himself with his dad singing inside a car. 

"We all miss you everyday and I’m glad we have this video for memories. Mahal na mahal kita Dad and I promise to always do my best and keep on going because I know you love seeing me on screen," Josh wrote in the caption.

In a "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda" interview in May, Josh also said that he hopes his late friends are proud of what he is doing in life, adding that he would not be Josh Ford if it were not for them. 

Josh was evicted from "PBB" with his duo Ralph de Leon, who eventually returned to Kuya's house after winning a wildcard slot.
