Irish TV presenter and model Vogue Williams, winner of the first series of Bear Grylls: Mission Survive, is worried she'll always be known as the girl who drank her own urine.

Vogue, 29, beat the likes of rugby star Mike Tindall and Dame Kelly Holmes, on Bear's 12-day celebrity endurance challenge series. But when the finalists were tasked with drinking their own urine, she regretfully retched her way through the challenge.

Vogue told What's on TV at the National TV Awards: "It hasn't left me now, it's one thing I can take away from the show... I'm always going to be the girl who drank her own wee!"

But it wasn't all bad. Vogue found out a lot about herself. "I'm definitely stronger than I thought I was and you can sort of get through anything if you're positive about things it make it a way more fun thing to do. I wasn't positive at the start and I was finding it really hard and then I just started loving it and I was positive about it and I had a great time."

The new series of Bear Grylls: Mission Survive starts on ITV later this year.
