Am I the only one who thinks this pic is not shocking?

I quite like Ben Fogle but the DM says "the shocking picture that shows flesh eating bug attacking Fogle".

It doesn't. There's nothing shocking about the photo whatsoever. Anyway, hope he gets better soon, he's a harmless chap isn't he

Poor Ben, photo caption all wrong!

I would imagine they are referring to the wound on his arm, but I agree, he hardly looks ravaged in the photo

My friend met him once. She works for the National Trust and he was doing some filming there. She said he was arrogant, rude and refused to speak a word to anyone.

Still, I wouldn't wish a flesh eating bug on anyone.

I just don't get him, not a fan.

Naughty rude Ben, didn't he use to work for Tatler or something (not that he seems to mention it on his website!) Must have given him ideas above his station!

I hope he gets better soon. We watched a programme on parasites in college the other day, and the effects of that parasite can be devastating.

Aw, it's rubbish to hear that he is rude in RL

I had always thought he came across as quite a nice guy on tv. Shame.

man has wound on arm.

Not news, imo, but then the Daily Wail is not really a newspaper imo either

I was a bit at the part where it said:

"The return of the bug is the latest setback for Fogle, whose wife Marina suffered a miscarriage just days before he set off for the South Pole."

Sounds like a nice chap...

I'd be grateful that they didn't show the pic of the wound. The documentary featured a girl who was infected by the parasite and she had a huge hole in her foot which was oozing pus. And another victim lost his eye to it.

What a letdown - shocking, my arse.

Eh? Man with bandage on arm shocker?

I met him once and he was really friendly and chatty. Perhaps he was having a bad day when your friend met him.
Hope he is well soon!
