I think viewers quite like it when I'm suffering or eating or drinking something horrible or really up against it in some quicksand or whatever.

You can't become a decent horseman until you fall off and get up again, a good number of times. There's life in a nutshell.

I never wanted to do TV. I just did what I was trained to do through the Special Forces, and I've been doing that from a very young age.

Time and experience have taught me that fame and money very rarely go to the worthy, by the way - hence we shouldn't ever be too impressed by either of those impostors. Value folk for who they are, how they live and what they give - that's a much better benchmark.

There is no feeling like coming home after danger.

I love making healthy lean foods delicious - that's an art!

You're not human if you don't feel fear. But I've learnt to treat fear as an emotion that sharpens me. It's there to give me that edge for what I have to do.
