Janet Ellis:

[On breaking her pelvis while filming]

"I was training for a display with the RAF Falcons, and it wasn't filmed. I fell out of a plane and I landed fine...but actually there was a stone on the ground and it was an impact fracture.

[On being a part of the programme]

"Anyone who knew me would know I wasn't sporty, I wasn't daredevil at all, but I think that's what the programme wanted. The spirit was, have a go.

"I was a 28 year old woman, I was married with a child, I didn't have to jump out of a plane, but they love to go against the norm. They gave me the chance to do it."
