Back in May we ran an article appealing for insurance professionals to volunteer for Channel 4's Faking It series.

Soon after Matthew Davis found himself swapping a life of risk assessing for risk taking as he trained to become a stuntman in just four weeks.

According to the show's producers, 31-year-old Davis had a month's training "in the school of hard knocks before pitting himself against the talents of three tough and experienced stuntmen in a test that would push them all to the limit".

Davis' mentors were high-fall and stunt-driver Rocky Taylor, precision driver Andy Smart and former Royal Marine turned stuntman Morgan Johnson.

To see how Davis progressed tune in to Channel 4 on Wednesday 30 October at 9pm.
