Never let it be said that Grant Denyer isn’t afraid to go the extra mile for his craft.
The affable TV presenter, 48, did just that this week during the latest episode of Channel Nine’s TopKnotz.
Grant and fellow TopKnotz crew Miguel Maestre, Tom Williams, Rob Palmer and Felicity Palmateer were in Fiji for Thursday night’s series of waterborne challenges.
After surfing some huge Fijian breaks, the group retired to Seventh Heaven – a swanky floating bar and restaurant located in the heart of the Mamanuca Islands.
Chef Miguel whipped up some pizzas in the kitchen and soaked up the atmosphere in the idyllic location.
The group then set themselves the challenge of jumping into the azure water from a diving board perched high on the floating bar’s roof, dubbed the ‘leap of faith’

Grant was the last one to take on the challenge and he was definitely not shy in his attempt.
Without batting an eyelid, Grant began to strip off until he was completely naked.
‘Are you ready, gents?’ he said to the production team as he removed his shirt, boardshorts and underpants.
‘Here we go,’ Grant added with a cheeky grin before running off to take the plunge.
While Grant had no shame about baring all, thankfully producers saw fit to blur Grant’s ‘birthday suit’.
His brazen display proved smart, however, with his co-stars declaring Grant the challenge winner.
Grant recently spoke out about his rock bottom moment amid his harrowing addiction battle.
The Deal Or No Deal host has battled a highly publicised painkiller addiction in the past, after breaking his back during a freak monster truck accident in 2008.

The crash left Grant with a vertebra shattered in eleven pieces, and doctors feared he might never walk again.
Speaking about the ordeal on Nova 100’s Jase & Lauren show in July, Grant candidly revealed the moment he reached the lowest depths.
‘In the addiction for some reason that night, I wanted scotch,’ he continued.
‘I was living in an apartment in the CBD. I left in the middle of the night just in my undies, walking around, no clothes on, just undies, for scotch, in a delirium, and then I got lost.’
Grant added that his wife of 14 years, Chezzi, was looking for him for three hours, only to find him in a fire escape, sleeping next to a pile of human excrement.
‘I could barely walk right, like freshly broken back, and I’d got lost in the building, and she found me three hours later in the fire escape, asleep on the ground, just curled up in the corner, just stuck and lost next to someone else’s poo,’ Grant admitted.
‘Someone had taken a dump in the fire escape, and here I am asleep on the ground, in my undies, lost.
‘I just try and remember that if I ever think I’m slipping.’
