David Muir has a regular face on the news, having been fronting ABC's World News Tonight since 2014.
And while he is the one reading out the headlines and investigating news stories, he thought for a moment during his recent time off that he would be the one in the story itself.
This was because David experienced quite the challenge during his action-packed fitness vacation with his good friend, Kelly Ripa, and her husband Mark Consuelos.
The trio were in Greece, where they did a lot of walking, and at one point they found themselves walking a bit too close to the edge for David's liking.
Appearing on Live with Kelly and Mark last week, the news anchor retold the story with the husband and wife.

He said: "We would be on these trails, we weren't always convinced but he [Mark] always found the way... but there was this moment where we were so high up on the hills, and the water was beautiful... and Mark was leading the way, and then Kelly.... and it was close to the edge [of the water]... you could hear the pebbles..."

"With me, but the wrong way," David joked. "The headline would read "David Muir and others found at the bottom of the ravine," Kelly added. "I couldn't tell them how nerve wracking that was until we were at the top. That was the biggest scare," David concluded.

David has been friends with Kelly and Mark for many years and is just as close with their children too. He spends a lot of the summer at their beautiful family home in the Hamptons, where they enjoy plenty of barbeques.
