Looks as though Prince William will be hitting our TV screens rather soon, but don't worry, he's not heading out on the tear with the gang from The Valleys or Geordie Shore. The Duke of Cambridge has merely been captured on camera at work with the Royal Air Force for the latest series of BBC's Helicopter Rescue.
The BBC managed to gain exclusive access to the the crews working at RAF Valley in Anglesey (where William is based) and RMB Chivenor in Devon, just in time for Series 2 of the rather popular search and rescue programme. William is just one of a number of pilots featured throughout the series, but sure isn't all the attention focusing on him anyway?
You'll only ever hear him referred to as Flight Lieutenant Wales by his colleagues, but The Radio Times says there's "extensive footage" which gives viewers an insight into the prince's daily working life in the RAF."There’s no greater feeling than when you’ve actually done some good and saved someone’s life. I don’t think there’s any greater calling in life... to be able to see a son or daughter’s face when you bring their mother or father back from the edge of death - it’s quite powerful", William explains during the show.
In the first episode, he and his team will be working to rescue a local boy, who has fallen off a railway bridge in an old slate quarry. "As captain you’re trying to play out the entire rescue, the transit to the rescue and back again in your mind, and pick up any circumstances or problems you can foresee, and try and fix them on the ground before you get airborne", William says.
And there we were thinking he'd prefer a month in Majorca with the cast of Tallafornia...
