Bear Grylls criticised as son left on rocks for training exercise

TV action man Bear Grylls was at the centre of a row after his young son was left on rocks for a lifeboat training exercise.

The survival specialist tweeted a picture of Jesse Grylls, 12, on the rocks to his 1.2m followers, saying: “Jesse and the @RNLI on a training exercise to rescue him off the rocks!”

However, when the lifeboat station manager at Abersoch, north Wales, returned from holiday he criticised using the boy during the rescue exercise.
