Spencer Matthews: The Real Reason I Push Myself So Hard...

You know, there was 20 people there, Russian guys, Chilean guys, everyone's super serious, no sense of humour whatsoever.

Seven leopard seal spotters, two boats, you know, a person... Why leopards?

Begin Again with Davina McCall
Spencer Matthews: The Real Reason I Push Myself So Hard...

Leopard seals are... Is it savage?

Begin Again with Davina McCall
Spencer Matthews: The Real Reason I Push Myself So Hard...

Yeah.

Spencer Matthews: The Real Reason I Push Myself So Hard...

So, again, there haven't been a huge amount of leopard seal attacks on humans, but humans are very rarely in the water in...

Good luck.

Spencer Matthews: The Real Reason I Push Myself So Hard...

You know, you're gonzo.

Begin Again with Davina McCall
Spencer Matthews: The Real Reason I Push Myself So Hard...

And so as well as the zero-degree water that you'll be in for between an hour and a half and two hours,

and the very serious threat to actual dangerous wildlife, your mind, if allowed to, will just wander into all kinds of hell, right?
