A well known climber who helped presenter Helen Skelton on Countryfile has sadly died, the show has revealed. Known as ‘Climber Pete’, he appeared with the star in 2020 as they got to grips with the Peak District.
Helen and Pete seemed to really get on with her calling him ‘a joy’ and the announcement was made on this week’s show. The 2020 section aired again on Sunday’s show - and in it Helen and Pete took to the hills, the Sun reported.
She introduced Pete by telling viewers: “When he’s not in his favourite chair at the pub, local climbing legend Pete can be found dangling from rocks like these.”
