Bill zipped himself into his blue and yellow suit and strapped on to a harness as Lenny Kravitz’s hit song Fly Away played in the background.

Grinning broadly as he sat on the edge of the plane, the excited actor was taken from the plane inch by inch by the instructor strapped to his back.

The duo then dove out of the plane in an exhilarating free fall, flipping upside down with the wind in their faces before the parachute burst open.

Bill eventually landed on the floor to a thunderous round of applause, with the soap star blown away as he admitted that his “breath was taken away” during the “amazing” skydive.

He said, ‘You can’t breathe and it’s quite shocking. But then when the parachute opens and you see the beautiful view, and that is beautiful. You just slow down and you know how birds feel. It’s really great.’

Speaking on Friday’s episode of Lorraine about his upcoming skydive, Bill insisted he didn’t want to slow down.

He said, “I do a Sunday morning skydive for a community good cause. You may not acknowledge your age. People say slow down, but if you don’t use it, you lose it.”
