I love Ray Mears. He's brilliant. He's so rude about me in the press, it's outrageous!

I joined the Army at 19 as a soldier and spent about four and a half years with them. Then I broke my back in a freefall parachuting accident and spent a year in rehabilitation back in the U.K.

I love home cooking, and I'm not a great one for fast food.

That feeling when you're so cold you'd give anything to be warm - I've had it before, literally huddled around a candle flame on an ice sheet.

Many great people over the centuries have depended on their faith- it is a sign of great strength to need Jesus in your life.

I come from a line of self-motivated, determined folk - not grand, not high society, but no-nonsense, family-minded go-getters.

The only difference between 'try' and 'triumph' is varying degrees of 'umph'
