Lisa Snowdon has completed a 13,000ft skydive to raise money for charity.

The model admitted that she had been "really nervous" before the jump, The Mirror reports.

She said: "I don't think I realised how high it was. My nerves were building when we went up in the plane and I felt really sick. It seemed to take forever to get up there.

"When we got up to 13,000 feet the red light went on, then the yellow light which means it's time to go, and I freaked out.

"I had my legs dangling out of the plane and it felt so unnatural. Then suddenly we were out. We did this crazy back double somersault and I could see the bottom of the plane.

"It was the most surreal thing I've ever done. It happened so quickly I didn't worry about the parachute. The freefalling was wild, it was just brilliant."

Snowdon will perform another jump to raise more money for charity next month. Her ex-boyfriend George Clooney recently donated £12,000 to the cause.
