Lorraine 'shaking like a leaf' during 25-metre climb
The Gazette
|June 28, 2025
LORRAINE Kelly said she was “shaking like a leaf” as she scaled the mast of an historic ship that previously ventured to Antarctica, before abseiling to the ground.
-
She joined fellow presenter Dan Snow in a race up the 25-metre mast of the RSS Discovery in Dundee yesterday, with Snow reaching the top first by a few minutes.
The feat aimed to emulate the working conditions the ship's original crew faced when it voyaged to Antarctica 124 years ago, albeit they endured harsh weather conditions and no modern safety precautions.
Led by the Dundee Heritage Trust, the Discovery Mast Climb will be open for daring members of the public to experience in the autumn.
