The former host has explored the world in various travel programmes, such as The Mekong River with Sue Perkins and Sue Perkins: Lost In Alaska, and is now travelling through Europe in Big Adventure: Paris To Istanbul. Speaking on , she told how she has often been scared in her own life, explaining that when she first started travelling she used to take a huge case full of everything she might need for any emergency - even "for a shark attack".
Perkins was talking to the BBC show's host Roman Kemp about her travel adventures, when he asked what she would like viewers to take from them. "Don’t be frightened," said the star. "I have, I suppose, been very frightened at points in my life.
I didn’t have a lot of experiences growing up so I was very reserved when I first started travelling." She went on: "When I went on my first adventure to the Mekong my suitcase was so large everyone used to laugh at it, they used to say they would need another plane to put it in. I packed everything for every eventuality, for a shark attack, mouse repellent, you know.
.. in case I met bees.
"And now I just travel with a rucksack. "And so, I want to say that, just meet people on their own terms, be respectful, you don’t need loads of money to travel well and have fun." Offering up a top travel tip, the TV star joked: "I have been in places where nobody speak English within, I don’t know, 200 or 300.
