BBC presenter Paul Rose has said he is 'happy to be alive' after a terrifying polar bear attack.
The explorer was filming forthcoming BBC Two series The Pennine Way on the Arctic East Coast of Canada when the incident took place.
Speaking about the attack, Rose said: "The first thing I knew was when I woke up unable to move as it had me pinned down.
"Somehow I got out from underneath the bear, only to find I was staring right at it after I carefully opened the zip at the front of the tent to look outside."
Paul said: "Perhaps I should have stayed in the Pennines. There's certainly less likelihood of encountering a polar bear there."
Rose later wrote on Twitter: "Polar bear in my tent last night. Wrecked tent. Sore shoulder. Alive, happy!"
Polar bear in my tent last night. Sore shoulder & wrecked tent. Alive, happy! #pristineseas http://t.
