Steve Thorn has been crowned the bravest man in Britain after jumping his way to victory at Salford Quays, Manchester.

38 year-old Steve was one of 60 brave Apple fans who bungee jumped for their chance to win the recently released Apple Watch. Participant’s heart rates were monitored and Steve, an electrician from Dagenham, stayed the calmest throughout the 160 foot descent with an average heart-rate of just 72 beats per minute.

Steve said: “We were in Manchester to watch Paddy McGuinness’ new show but it was postponed so we were looking for something to do while we waited when we came across the bungee competition.

“I’m terrified of heights and one of my biggest fears is falling but I thought I’d give it a go anyway. I didn’t expect to win so was totally shocked to hear I stayed so calm.
