‘We had a social phone we used to record stuff to put out on TenPlay and social media before we do some of the challenges.
‘And I always did a farewell piece to camera for my wife and kids, like if something did happen to me and I didn’t survive the abseil or the cliff dive,’ he said.
He added: ‘But I was doing these challenges every second day so there were about 50 farewell videos all up. Lucky for me I didn’t have to use them.’
