What was your ultimate aim when heading off with a celebrity into the wild?
Really the aim was simple. To give each guest an opportunity to have an unforgettable wildlife experience.
An opportunity for the audience to get to know, and possibly see another side of each person, not just their public persona.
Obviously for me to enjoy the wildlife and the company of some truly interesting people.
Who would you say got the most out of the experience and why?
I think in many ways Alastair Campbell may have got most from the experience.
The world in which he has inhabited through his career is a million miles away from the experiences we had on our trip.
Watching an otter peacefully snooze just meters away or a pod of bottle nosed leaping from the water close enough to touch really are unforgettable memories.
He was going to buy a pair of binoculars as soon as he got back to London!
What was the best moment and why?
There were fabulous animal encounters and lovely memorable times with each guest.
Really the best moment was at the end of the trip knowing that the wildlife had delivered for us and we were all going home with a smile on our faces.
It was probably relief more than anything!
If you could take any celeb out into the wild (alive or dead) – who would it be? Why?
Bill Gates.
As the worlds wealthiest man, the aim would be to convince him to extend his philanthropy to helping to protect the worlds most vulnerable species.
If he wasn’t available, I’d take Donald Trump into the wild.
