Emotional Ruthie Henshall bursts into tears as she is blown TWO MILES off course during daring free fall
Ruthie Henshall dissolved into tears after she was blown two miles off course during a daring 120mph free fall on Channel 4 show Famous and Fearless tonight.
The 43-year-old star admitted she was terrified after a huge gust of wind meant she couldn't land in the allocated airfield, and she was left drifting around in the sky while her instructors desperately tried to find her.
After navigating her way to a successful landing in a different field, Ruthie burst into tears when she was finally discovered by her concerned team.

Following the jump, Ruthie said: 'I went through every single emotion possible during the jump - I was amazed by how rational, open and in control I was - feeling an immense sense of calm even though I was absolutely scared out of my mind - its amazing how much of the training had gone in.
'I felt very proud after the event that I hadn't completely fallen apart - if I can jump out of a plane, pull my own 'chute, get taken off on a freak gust of wind and end up landing on my own way off course then I'm a tougher cookie than I can ever imagine.'
Ruthie first realised she was in trouble as soon as she started getting separated from the other jumpers after leaving the plane which was three miles above the ground.

She then started praying to herself, saying: 'Dear Lord, please let this be alright' as she realised she could no longer see her landing spot.
But then the former Dancing On Ice star's intensive training kicked in and she managed to land successfully and safely.
Ruthie is just one of the Celebrity Daredevils who made a guest appearance on the Channel 4 show.
