Yet braving the elements, tough military talk and nail-biting challenges including jumping out of a holiday sparked a change oin mindset when it came to her love life.
After returning to home turf, she called time on the former relationship due to her newfound “self confidence.”
Cherry told OK! Magazine: “It’s one of the best things I’ve ever done.
“When I came out, I’d been dating this guy who was full of shenanigans.
“You know, there was lots of classic rubbish behaviour. I was really infatuated.
“I got back and the first thing I did was break it off with him because I thought, ‘There’s no way I’m going to jump out of a helicopter and then continue with this absolute farce.’
“So yeah, it changes you as a person and gives you a lot of self-confidence.”
The screen star, who is known for her BBC Three documentaries, told how it was an “immediate yes” when her agent got the call.
The mum of two had told how she needed a challenge as she entered perimenopause.
She added on her life shift: “There’s this preconception that when you become perimenopausal or menopausal you go and live under the bridge with all the other trolls.
“I really passionately want to wave the flag for this stage in your life.
“You can be vibrant, healthy, flourishing, thriving, have great sex, you can start a new job and travel.”
NEW CHAPTER
Fresh from ditching her former lover, Cherry has hit her stride.
She found love with fellow fitness fan Justin and back in June, the pair went Instagram official.
She ended her six-year relationship with advertising executive Carl Kisseih last year.
Sharing a string of snaps with her new man, Cherry wrote in her caption: “Cheesy post alert.
“Celebrating the most amazing six months with the smartest, coolest, most fun, kindest man I’ve ever met – feel like the luckiest girl in the world – Happy Anniversary @corporateath1ete.”
She was previously wed to entrepreneur Roly Allen and the couple have two children together, daughter Coco, 13, and son Bear, nine.
The BBC host also recently revealed how she binned off a date who talked about himself for 90 minutes solid.
She told The Sun: “This guy was gorgeous but talked about himself for an hour and a half.
“He turned to me and said ‘do you want another drink?’ and I said ‘You know what, I’m going to go home because all you’ve done is talk about yourself and people I don’t know’.”
Yet, despite this Cherry, who has presented shows like Inside The Factory with Gregg Wallace, says dating in her 40s is better than any other decade.
