Former Spice Girl Melanie Chisholm had to be rescued from a crocodile infested river as a Comic Relief challenge went wrong in Africa this week.
The singer had embarked on a 68 mile journey on Africa's River Zambezi along with a number of other celebrities to raise money for Red Nose Day, but the trip turned out to be more dangerous than first thought.
The challenge took a turn for the worse when Chisolm and co-rider Jack Dee found themselves battling against fierce currents and eventually capsizing into the dangerous river.
The charity's official Twitter feed read: "Jack and Mel lost control of their dinghy, were dragged through trees by the white water & capsized before being rescued."
"Everyone is safe and well, but the last two hours have been incredibly dramatic. Everyone is shaken but physically fine now - but that was as frightening a morning as you'd ever want to have."
