Charlie Brook: If I wasn't a presenter…

...I'd like to be a professional tennis player! No, not really. Maybe a harbour master or a forest ranger.

I’ve always had a special connection with the sea. It goes back to my childhood holidays spent on the Isle of Wight. We stayed in a rumble tumble-down cottage a stone’s throw from the sea.

I spent my days fishing and rowing with my dad. We didn’t have the luxury of a motor cruiser, but our beloved rowing boat served us well.

When I was a teenager I was exploring in the shed and found an outboard motor. I helped restore the trusty rowing boat with the motor, and then we had the power!

Did anyone else spend their holidays on the Isle of Wight?

Best wishes
