Helen Skelton could never be accused of being shy or retiring! The adventurous Countryfile presenter has kayaked the Amazon River, crossed a tightrope between Battersea Power Station’s chimneys and trekked to the South Pole using skis, kite, and a modified bicycle, all for Comic Relief.

This week, Helen faces an entirely new challenge during Channel 5’s week-long celebration of British zoos when she gets hands-on with some of the animals!
