Presenter of CBBC show Live ’n’ Deadly Naomi Wilkinson is to host a series of live shows at Longleat Safari and Adventure Park.

Naomi, who also presents CBBC’s Wild and Naomi’s Nightmares of Nature, will treat visitors to close encounters with a selection of Longleat’s deadliest animals during her Deadly Summer Show.

The shows will take place four times daily, from August 7 to 18, in the Hunters of the Sky Arena. Each will include a number of birds of prey.

Animals joining Naomi and the birds will include giant boa constrictors, skunks and creatures with deadly reputations.

Naomi said: “I’m really looking forward to being down at Longleat over the summer, to introduce some of the world’s deadliest animals to the visitors at the park. The shows are 100 per cent live, so you can never be totally sure what to expect, but that’s what makes working with animals so exciting.

“Hopefully, the audiences in the arena will have as much fun watching from the safety of the stands as I do getting up close and personal with these incredible creatures.”

Entry to shows is included with a Longleat day ticket or annual pass, but places are limited and allocated on a first-come-first-served basis.

The Deadly Summer Show is part of the Deadly Adventure at Longleat, a four-year partnership with BBC Worldwide.
