  • TV presenter Lorraine Kelly admitted she was "terrified" after abseiling down a 25-metre mast on Friday.
  • The challenge took place on the RRS Discovery ship in Dundee, where Kelly scaled the mast with fellow presenter Dan Snow.
  • Kelly, who is not good with heights, described the experience as scary and said she was "shaking like a leaf" afterwards.
  • This event occurred just weeks after the 65-year-old presenter underwent preventive keyhole surgery to remove her fallopian tubes and ovaries.
