EDDIE THE EAGLE made a sensational North Korea claim long before his appearance on Countryfile as he joked "we've probably got about 50 nuclear warheads pointing at us".
But it also came the same month that South Korea was preparing to host the 2018 Winter Olympics – which, at the time, provoked much speculation about North Korea’s attendance, amid tensions with the West.
Leader Kim Jong-un had repeatedly sparked friction between world leaders and made several nuclear threats – including one stating he had a launch button “always on [his] table”.
Speaking to Daily Star Online as the Games loomed, Eddie stated: “As an athlete, these political issues wouldn’t even cross my mind.”
He went on to point out that he lives in Cheltenham, joking that “we’ve probably got about 50 nuclear warheads pointing at us because of GCHQ, but I’m not worried about it”.
