Frightened reporter swims with sharks: 50 years since Jaws | LBC

LBC’s Henry Riley faces his fear as he goes swimming with sharks to mark 50 years since the iconic Steven Spielberg film, Jaws, was released.

“I don’t love sharks… who does? I also don’t much enjoy being submerged under water for an extended period.”

“So when Nick Ferrari suggested (or more accurately, insisted) that I go swimming with sharks to mark 50 years since Steven Spielberg’s blockbuster Jaws was released, to say I was apprehensive would be an understatement.”

“But I needn’t have been worried. In fact, I would do it all over again,” Henry Riley reflects.

The team at the Skegness Aquarium were absolutely superb, and particularly kind to a petrified reporter who had spent the 3+ hour journey from London to Skegness in a state of panic.
