Me and my brothers used to make forts in the bush when we were younger, and one time I playfully fell into my brotherr and he ended up falling about 400 metres down a steep, rocky hill. I said it was an accident – until aboutbout 10 years ago I told my parentsnts the truth! The show’s filmed in NZ – could you live there? ere? Auckland’s too coldd for me!
