Kicking off his first ever UK Arena tour in Manchester just in time for school half-term, award-winning wildlife presenter Steve Backshall has landed at the O2 Arena with Deadly Live!

The show is based on the hit BBC TV show Deadly 60, now in its sixth series, where the seemingly fearless adventurer travels the world to find the 60 deadliest animals on the planet.

Going back tens of millions of years ago right through to today, in just the first half we witness him being bitten, stung and pooed upon as he takes us on a high octane journey across land, sea and sky.

We go from venomous snakes the length of two double decker buses to mere ants that can inflict unbearable pain........
