We’ve been filming at the Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary and it has been brilliant. Seeing these creatures close up has been really magical and the walk in the forest with them was something that will stay with me for life (the fact it poured down with rain only made it more special in some way).

My brother had been to the sanctuary a month before on holiday and the one thing he said was amazing was the otters that bathed around the island. I had a search for them but they were obviously off hiding at that moment, although I can’t complain as the chimps were the real stars of the island.
