Wildlife presenter, Nigel Martin got badly bitten by a cobra while filming for his new TV series, Jaguar Adventure.

Nigel was left in agony while shooting in Brazil when a non-poisonous false water cobra sank its fangs into him.

He told The Sun: “They normally feed on frogs not TV wildlife presenters. I kept saying ‘Please let go, Mr Snake’, but it was hard work getting him off my hand and arm.

“I didn’t want to pull too hard, as it’s an endangered species I could have damaged his teeth, but he did give me a very good bite even though he had no venom!”

Jaguar Adventure With Nigel Marven airs on Five, Tuesday April 8, 8pm
