Apparently Bear Grylls (so-called adventurer, and presently Chief Scout) has revealedblush that he proposed to his wife after skinny dipping ...okay I can go with that, I'm not a total prude... but the bit about him producing the engagement ring from his butt cheeks is just too much information

Well, it could have been worse - by an inch or so!

Hmm ... I'll refrain from speculating on the size ...of her finger of coursewink

But I certainly wouldn't have put it on. And what would have happened if it had been irretrievable?

Just watching the programme and he didn't do that, or say that he had!
He seems like a nice bloke, which I wasn't really expecting smile

I was disappointed when Bear Grylls came to visit my son's scout camp. It had been a wet weekend and the boys were waiting in the rain and mud when Bear Grylls turned up with a minder holding an umbrella over him! So much for the great adventurer!

I think it was a throw-away remark which he quickly corrected by saying he concealed the ring in the palm of his hand.

Yes, it was a tongue-in-cheek remark grin He had it clutched in his hand.
