Helen Skelton completes Amazon kayak journey

Blue Peter presenter Helen Skelton has completed a 2,000-mile kayak trip along the Amazon for Sport Relief.

The 26-year-old suffered mosquito bites and aching muscles and broke two world records, becoming the first woman to paddle the length of the river.

Skelton took six weeks to complete her solo trip and kept a video diary throughout her extraordinary journey.
