Michaela Strachan, 48, revealed her unusual funeral plans in an interview over the weekend.

Speaking candidly, the animal lover explained that she would want her body to be put to good use when she passes - and that she would ideally like it to be fed to sharks.

She said to the Daily Star: “I'll be buried in a biodegradable box, or have my body fed to sharks."

Despite her off-the-wall plans for her body, the BBC Springwatch star, who now lives in South Africa, added that she would like to be mourned in the traditional manner.

The traditional manner being, of course, with lots of tears.

She said simply: “I also want people to be sad - having a party and getting drunk seems so disrespectful.“

In 2014, Michaela Strachan revealed she was forced to have both of her breasts removed after being diagnosed with cancer.

She told the Mail on Sunday's You magazine: "The tears started to roll as my doctor tried to tell me what would happen next, but I only took in every fifth word or so.

"The one word that registered was 'cancer'."

Michaela, who is set to undergo reconstructive surgery, stressed her experience showed the importance of regular check-ups.

"If I'd put mine off, my story could have been a very different one," she said.
