Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and Husband Jean-Bernard Escape Shark Attack

Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and her husband Jean Bernard narrowly escaped a shark attack when holidaying in the Caribbean earlier this month. The couple were snorkelling when Cheryl reportedly spotted a blacktip reef shark and according to reports, they were urged back to shore by waiting lifeguards. This particular type of shark rarely poses a threat and is classed as non-violent. However, the blacktip reef has been known to bite people wading through shallow water although injuries are not usually serious.

"There are warnings up about sharks all year round in that part of the world, but nobody expects to actually see one.

"Cheryl was shaken but she was OK".
