Kate Silverton Faces Her Fear -Ultimate Wild Water- BBC One

[InNewMusicWeTrust1]

Any onr know if this is avalable on line any were?!? i really whant to see it!!!

[SafezoneDiaries]

Good on her.

She faced her fear very well.

[gusemcontra]

How do you think the cameraman felt when filming her? Couldn't have been that bad...

[waviedavie1967]

I think she's lufferley :-)

[ImaTWAZZOCK]

hahaha JEALOUS FEMALES how untterly pathetic.So obvious.I love it ..keep it going ladies.

[halfmumi]

Try doing alone and without boat.

i did but i was using palets and snorkel

[soulkinng]

I know what your strenghts are Kate, you look just like Bingo from the Banana Splits tv show! LMFAO

[mb4488]

i hate kate silverton, it was magic to see her cry. i want to see more vids mocking her. she just annoys me and this vid seals it.

[syrett76]

God you sound a hate filled moron.

[mb4488]

yeah, and i love you too now. in fact i think you can fcuk off and i hate you as well. why did you watch this shit vid anyway you sad prick? i only clicked on it to mock kate, why else would YOU click to watch? oh, and what is all this rubbish about global warming? :-)

[syrett76]

Well I watched it because It came under the tags sport and cornwall - why would I hate someone I know nothing about?. Unlike you 'sad prick' who is actively searching youtube for videos about a person they hate - just to leave pointless comments. Get yourself a girlfriend and get laid, you might find your perspective on life changes. Loser

[mb4488]

you're the one with no girlfriend, and spends too much time on the pc with the mouse in one hand and your johnson in the other! if i remember rightly, you started this beef with me and attacked me for no reason. so what if i have an opinion, an opinion is like an arsehole, everybody has one! so just leave me alone you knob.

[syrett76]

Yeah, and I was stating an opinion like you. Except mine was based on something other than an irrational hatred. "I hate kate silverton, it was magic to see her cry" - get a life.

[dagenhamdave3]

That's more information than I need - your girlfriend giving you a blowjob while you watch Penny Smith on GMTV? I bet that makes her day.

[zoomtoob]

I saw the complete episode on BBC1 she's amazing, at the end she went on to complete her final task on her own, climbing, swimming and canoing. At one point she even threw up over the side of the canoe and then kept going - Total respect for Kate.

[Rockpig1969]

What a phoney! A phoney third rate newsreader trying to get on the celeb bandwagaon - awful! Can't stand her.

[mo2mo]

Kate always been my fav. Funny enough I like her in the bizarre way that made me like Kate Moss. They not the prettiest but they befinately have something EXTREMELY SPECIAL. Luv u Kate

[maccafan10]

She did some brave shit in that program. The deep dive was awesome. Brave lass. Respect !!

(I would also like to give her one too)

[someblokecalleddave1]

I like Kate, but somewhere on the way the Numpties got involved. The bloke further down said the waves are small. They are - they're tiny and somehow someone at the BBC and the dickhead army bloke (And a surf canoeist to boot) have conspired to make something out of nothing. You want to see waves - type in "teahupoo" here or google it with the name Laird Hamilton or "Laird Hamilton and Peahi". You'll see what I mean. As for swimming in from out the back wearing a wetsuit - shut up!

[bnfl]

There was something rather unnerving standing side by side at the urinal with Kate. She looked down at my appendage and said "mines bigger than yours". Do you know, she was right, she's hung like a donkey.

[CaptJazzmag]

She'd get it... oh yes!

[INGSOC7]

I just know that a lot of the nasty and negative comments are from women jealous of her perfect figure and sexy lips! Fat ugly women love to sit at their keyboard all day, stuffing their faces, and slagging off sexy women. You know I'm right.

[urban592]

some people!!!!! there are few enough beautiful things to look at in this world and even kate wont be gorgeous for ever; let's enjoy the woman and let her have her moments. give a little you miserable gits.

[FElepster]

Should change this article to "Kate Silverton Faces Her Fear - The truth" As with all BBC reporters this clearly would be he greatest fear. Have Kate sit in a studio with another person reading a factual account of the Iraq war including TRUE casuality rates of troops, Actual civillian death tolls etc, Then have them suggest that YES global warming is potentially still not being caused by man and watch her turn to a gibbering wreak and run screaming from the room.

[FElepster]

wreck*

[dagenhamdave3]

Do you think news presenters choose the bias of the programmes they front? Do you think therefore that this woman and her colleagues decide in the morning that the toll of 500 or so Iraqis who have died that day is too many and therefore they will tell us that only 5 died instead? To say she/they would run from the room screaming if they had to tell the truth shows you are basically a fool and therefore any facts that you choose to peddle are to be taken with a pinch of salt.

[dagenhamdave3]

What is your point about global warming? Is your point that it doesn't exist, or not man-made anyway, and therefore newsreaders may have to tell the truth about there not being a problem? Why would that revelation cause her to break down?

[womentrepreneur]

Another one who wants to be noticed in my opinion. Not informative, go and see a psycho to help you sort out your life. I don't like her.

[LesKrepa]

She speaks very highly of you though

[dagenhamdave3]

For somebody who appears to advocate women having a voice you seem to be overly keen to slag off a woman who shows some bottle by confronting and overcoming her fears. Despite your advocacy, perhaps you would truly have preferred this presenter to make a programme about a less dramatic and more traditionally feminine subject? And as for referring her to a psychologist to sort out her life WTF is that about?

[womentrepreneur]

you misunderstood my point. A real woman is fearless and willtake her life in control....millions of woman are out there fighting for their life every day. We need women whom we can refer too in 10 years and so.

[dagenhamdave3]

Well put, but I see nothing in the actions of this woman that are against that principle. Your original point that you didn't 'like her' just sounded like a 'winge'. While calling for women in the public eye to be better leaders you must temper your comments, otherwise your message will be lost as it was this time. Even if you don't agree totally with somebody's public persona, try re-moulding them, don't shoot them down and then expect somebody better to appear automatically in their place.

[womentrepreneur]

You still don't understand...

[dagenhamdave3]

The thing I don't understand is who are these women who are fighting for their lives every day? Why is their fight necessarily any more arduous than the fight of the man who stands or lives next to them? I'm loth to dismiss this as nonsense because people do have hard lives, but hardship isn't the monopoly of either sex, any one religion, nation or colour. And how this ten-a-penny entertainment programme was ever supposed to address these problems is the true mystery to me...

[womentrepreneur]

Well, those womens does exist, but I don't think you are able to see that.The fighting is absolutely necessary, excatly because they don't need men to stand next to them. Who care about her real life story?

[dagenhamdave3]

Did I say women NEED a man to fight FOR them? No, I said that men also have to work and fight for their existence: suffering isn't unique to women. But it still beats me why this programme which was designed only to entertain a narrow group of middle cless people should be taken as a poor testament to women's role and hardships in society. It showed somebody having a good time playing in the water, it was never going to be about the ills in society, that's Panorama's role.

[LesKrepa]

dagenhamdave just fuck off back into your box and take manhaiting bitch womentrepeneur with you. your up your own arse and shes to stoopid to understan watt u mean.

[womentrepreneur]

Discussion close, guys. Leskrepa, you don't need to be rude.

[LesKrepa]

[LesKrepa]

daganamdave just clear off back into yur box and take man hater womentrepeneur with u. your up ur own backside an shes to stoopid to understan yr point. she just reed watt she wants in yr comments not watt u sed

[dagenhamdave3]

Why the two replies creeper?

[LesKrepa]

whatever - u won tho the mardy bicth has gone back to her mardy corner thank god because she doent know what she means herslf

[womentrepreneur]

Let's forget about this discussion.We are not getting anywhere.

[BurningBodies666]

I love white water!!!!!

but i really hate this woman, the fact that she 'seemed' to do a roll after only being in a kayak for a few days or something... GRR!!! they cut soooo much tape!

[MonkSpacey]

Stupid woman is a news presenter and can't even pronounce the word "Vulnerable".

[mafmilian]

what a pussy there about 4/5 ft waves sheesh she should of tried to get out throught that on a 9ft 2 surfboard

[chuchascat]

stupid stuck up slapper she should have fallen overboard

[spameister]

So not to mention that she's a crap journalist?

[Rockpig1969]

Yet another media twat from London rediscovering Britain for us!

She Talks about St Davids being 5 hours from London. Why is that relevant?

[blinkobssessed182]

damn right go girl

[mullionel]

I watched the program, Kate was amazing.

I have had almost the same experience when I started to learn scuba-diving; the fear of underwater.

But the free dive Kate managed to do was it about 1.14 min? Was incomparable and have taught me a lot. Thanks for the video.

[tgs2]

If you guys that are posting the weird comments had the guts to face Kate Silverton she could physically or verbally knock you down you must be pathetic small minded creatures face up to it guys or girls you are all mentally retarded

[sulijoo]

We don't pay the friggin Licence Fee to fund BBC presenters' little jaunts into pursuits a bit more "challenging" than their day jobs. If she wants to challenge her own limits, why the smeg don't she do it in her own time, with her OWN money?? This was lazy and uninspired programming.

[timonline2000]

I totally agree.

[rockforever82]

Kate Silverton is soo not my type far too old for me for a start Iam 25 years old and she is like 38 hitting 40 years old LOL and she looks it when she takes her specks off. Penny Smith the GMTV reporter she is much hotter than Kate and even hotter in her younger days, Ive got a friend who lives in Scotland and there is a news reporter who is way hotter than them two put together her name is Heather simpson the most sexy red head I have ever seen!!!!

[dagenhamdave3]

Ha ha, it sounds like you wank all over your cornflakes during GMTV.

[LesKrepa]

Were just not fucking interested in you or mad as a hatter Penny Smith - and as for this mate of a mate who's watched TV in Scotland, what's that all about? Just get a BJ off your truly wonderful and gorgeous Penny Smith lookalike 21YO GF and leave YouTube in peace.

[dagenhamdave3]

Look Mr Creeper what's your problem with this rock dude? So he's up his own arse but I bet you'd like a good looking young GF who you could brag about?

[jammsbro]

I watched that mathew whatever program cos she was onit. I was in love, she is so beautiful and has the perfect lips. I say the more kate the better.

[bnfl]

I remember kate asking me for the time whilst standing having a piss in gents of the Bradford Emporium in 2003.

[jin1974]

maybe u should and when you do - look in the mirror!!!!

[jin1974]

my point was - do YOU look that good in a wet suit?

[jin1974]

i knew it. You must be a)an homosexual male, b) an homosexual female, c) a hetrosexual male or d) a hetrosexual female.She is very good looking. I'd like to see you look that good in a wet suit!!!!

[jin1974]

i think u fancy her really

[jin1974]

why do you all dislike her so much?

[gloriafuenteszun]

In the program, did she ever explain why she's so scared of water? Didn't anybody explain it doesn't kill?

[teethgritter]

err, correct me if im wrong but you could DROWN.

[teethgritter]

the post before was a reply to gloriafuentszen

[thetgirlthere]

hahaha squidbeak, you crack me up. nt so sure i agree with the susanna reid thing, more in the natasha kaplinski camp personally x btw do u mean u never c her and michael in a room or her n susanna? lol

[squidbeak99]

She looks like shit! She's like a cross between a Victorian spinster and a failed lesbian on breakfast - Susanna Reid now that's a sexy presenter! The voice over is patronising on a Michael Burke level. You never see them in the same room do you?

[MonkeyLibFront]

lol those waves were no more than 1-3 foot, anyone who was down perranothnoe last week it was 8 foot and it was packed full of surfers

[xx8Babydoll8xx]

i got so pissed off when i saw this program..for a start why does the wimpy bitch get to do all those awesome water sports, secondly why the fuck is she complaining! "i thought i was going to die" im sorry but every single time i go surfing i get hit by big sets and they just throw you around like a floppy cock & yeah it can be shit scary, but it's all part of the thrill! plus i'd like to point out that she was jumping 30ft drops, which is bugger all. Me? 60ft drop is my highest-> owned :P..

[FooYu]

u talk so much shit. U r a fat asshole who dreams this up.

[as515647]

Saw program last night and fair play to her! I think however it was recorded over a few days cause check out the different weather during some of the clips!!

[gloriafuenteszun]

Give her a break, people! I'm sure she's got a great personality :)

[gritchie29]

Good on Kate for giving kayaking a go. Pity she did not do the big drops on the Etive, one of Scotlands best kayaking rivers. Have a search for a video on YouTube called Glen Etive posted by andygod22. This video shows the big drops that Kate did not do, and as for the Bitches (Wales)...The Falls of Laura below Connel Bridge near Oban is far better than the Bitches...just check out the video..I was running the river and falls 20 years ago.

[geraint0808]

CORRECTION, You cheeky so and so!! You are entitled to your opinion.

[RichieBees]

but she is actually a really nice person :/

dont know why you have such a problem with her

[jeffdoubler8163]

kate very brave good on you

[RichieBees]

thats o mean :(

shes lovely

[geraint0808]

Cheeky Bastard!!

[Duncant104]

Ceasar Thunder Cat, Cool!

[ge0rd1e]

I would have preferred it if she didn't have a wetsuit on

[zakzara]

When she was just swimming, i dont understand why she was so scared. ive been in way more powerfull and big waves than and its only scary if you have a 10feet surf board on top of you and a leash rapped around half your body you cant get to the surface i cant believe she was like "im thought i was going to die" !!!

[geraint0808]

I bet Huw Edwards wouldn't have done it!!

[xx8Babydoll8xx]

omg... FINALLY someone agrees with me.. thanks dude LOL

[timonline2000]

Why does the BBC indulge its presenters like this?  It's pathetic. Of course Kate Silverton will face her fears, she's getting paid for it!

[gssg9]

to really test her, she should have swam out to the catz

[ConstanceMarkiewicz]

Well, that brightened my morning, smug mare. Much kudos to her though.

Should have been John Sweeney from Panorama though...

[pharon00]

More BBC crap. Why does there always need to be a a known face involved, just show the experts doing their stuff, not some muppets

[jimmershaw]

she is a fucking princess that needs to get off the tv and get a real job...slag

[biffandrews]

she had to mention that time about her being stranded at sea so people would feel sorry for her but hers a reallity check no one cares she is a stuck up slag

[lonympics]

Miss Silverton, we should disscuss this with eachother in bed.

[welshnick300365]

she's a babe

[miniroll32]

Stupid cow

[AlexFictionFriction]

whoopdedoo! she went surf jumping and mucked about in a zap cat!big deal! waves look great for surf kayaking though.were is it?

[S76N79]

I could smack Kaplinsky's silly face to be honest - she's soooo annoying!

[QVic]

god i love this woman!

[MatthewOfLondon]

Kate is a total babe. A couple of Degrees, 6 foot, totally dynamic. I wish I was married to her. How anyone can lust after "Spangles" instead is beyond me. Poxy ballroom crap.

[mailuj1]

Silverton would win. I reckon Kaplinsky would go down in four.

[goochie333]

I would love to slap her arse in that wetsuit.

[JasonC1782]

Who do you reckon would win in a fight between Kate and Natasha Kaplinsky?

[harrisonw3]

I remember Kate as the traffic girl at Radio Newcastle many years ago. Girl done good!!!

[11iop]

good to see kate in a wetsuit

[borgduck]

STFU! What has that got to do with this video???

[georgia2904]

did it and it was great fun!!! and it was volentary! it absolutly s=canes when you use a surfboard though!!!

[Avauk1]

Kate. You did a fantastic job standing up to your fears. to allow yourself to be exposed to that and have it captured on film is a remarkable job.

I was not lucky enough to catch the programe but just by watching this clip shows you have incredible guts and your an inspiration to others who may be looking for such inspiration to approach and overcome their fears.

Kudos to you.

[simongvs]

The notes say they are showing it tomorrow night (Tues) at 9PM.

[chirpybee]

I have swum in water like this - voluntarily and involuntarily! It is bloody scary - weird thing was watching it I actually felt the same panic I had in the sea. I don't think any description can prepare you for the power of being in a large swell of sea water. Good on them! The guy looked so composed!
