The personal trainer was with his girlfriend when the boat they were in capsized in 18ft waves leaving them in the water until they could be rescued 30 minutes later
A reality TV contestant and his girlfriend suffered a "terrifying" ordeal when a tourist boat capsized off a Bali beach. Alex Snell, who appeared on dating show Too Hot to Handle, says he and partner Leah Martine feel lucky to be alive.
Alex said: "It was terrifying - I honestly couldn't believe it was happening. I was in so much shock I could barely register what was going on."I tumbled around in the water. I got stuck under the boat and I couldn't breathe. I was struggling there for about 30 seconds. Alex and Leah took the boat on September 29 as part of a six-week trip to Indonesia. They say their vessel - which they estimate was around 25ft - started to rock halfway to Canggu.
Alex said: "It's so lucky a woman saw the boat go so high in the air and alerted the surfers. They were incredible - teenagers - and they got us all back.
