Once I was on a hike and thought I saw Steve Backshall walk past me. I kept walking for a while before I decided I had to see if it was him and say hi. I ran back on myself for about a mile before I reached the guy. It wasn't Steve Backshall but I guess I learned that day that I'd run a mile to meet him if I could.

Steve Backshall is and always will be a legend in my eyes. From Deadly 60 to Expedition with Steve Backshall, all of his shows were always so engaging and exciting thanks to his raw enthusiasm and passion. Being born in 1998, for me, he picked up the torch from Steve Irwin (RIP Absolute legend too🙏🏼) when he tragically lost his life, and brought interesing, exciting educational nature content to our screens once again. Shows like these helped me to understand there is an extreme wealth of life beyond the human world we often pay too much of our attention to instead. Much respect Steve!❤️😎

Had the pleasure of meeting steve when i was a kid on the Isles of Scilly. I loved deadly 60 growing up and word spread around the island so fast that he was there filming something. From memory he was clearly in the middle of something, but he still took the time to stop what he was doing to take a picture with us. I was probably 9 then and i'm 24 now and still remember how kind he was to this day.

I never realized just how powerful a cow was until I visited a dairy farm. The bulls were very obviously massive and powerful, but when I saw the cow up close, I was quite literally shocked at just how massive and strong they were, and when a cow had a calve nearby, they watched every little thing you did intently.
