Josh revealed that the hardest part was when they went down a mine in Wales.
Mark agreed, adding: “It took like six hours to get to the bottom.
“We slept as far underground as The Shard is high.
“There was one part of it when there was just a scaffold board, or a few, attached to a cliff and you had your little ropes you had to keep taking the hocks on and off and for that moment the bosses weren’t holding our hands, we had to do it on our own.”

He added: “It was probably the most scariest moment of my life because I had to watch my brother do it, then my dad do it and then I’ve got to do it and at any moment anything could happen.”
