Minus fifty [degrees], the sledge fell in ten foot down into the water, dark, full moon, breaking up all the ice…“I realised I was going to die very quickly if I couldn’t get the sledge out of the water.“Because, as it fell in, I get the quick-release that meant that the tension that was all over the life-saving equipment was no longer fixed to me.“And there it was, and it was gradually sinking.

Loose Women star Ruth Langsford revealed that she feels like she is constantly “spinning plates”.
