Brotherly gauntlet
Daniel Eggington is currently traversing the Rio Negro, through three dangerous South American countries, so Sam wants him to get his props.
He told us: “He makes what I do look like absolute child’s play, people should be writing articles about him and watching documentaries, not me.
“People are even raving about the guy from Eastenders – Grant Mitchell – going to dangerous foreign lands, but he’s traveling with about 15 bodyguards and a TV crew, while my brother is out there with a laptop and a drone.
“Right now I’m preparing for twelve rounds on Channel 5. He spends three months crossing the Rio Negro, through unknown parts of Colombia, Brazil and Venezuela, that’s real danger.”
