Love on the crocs
A TEENAGE back-packer ended up fighting for his life when he jumped into a river to impress a girl - without realising it was infested with crocodiles.
Lee De Paauw is "besotted" with Sophie Patterson so he showed off by jumping into the river in Queensland, Australia.
He ended up having to fight a crocodile and is now recovering from injuries to his arm. He is now planning to take Sophie to the pictures.
