Louisa Rodriguez
Psst – Did you know?
Louisa’s always-up-for-adventure-and-challenge-attitude once resulted in finding herself in Argentina as a contestant on the former BBC show ‘Total Wipeout’. It was only when the cameras started rolling that it dawned on her this “fun challenge” would be aired on BBC 1, and the big bouncy red balls were rather harder to run across than it looked.
It’s this attitude that always leads Louisa to unexpected experiences such as running up a mountain with the Bulgarian National Running team, tank driving at a bomb disposal unit, and, more recently, being winched in and out of a helicopter in the Scottish Mountains.
