“Yeah, I know, I’ve only just worked this out,” he said. “It’s been played up!
“The producers must have done that for the show. ‘Jocko’s lost his fingers by a crocodile!’”
Matt confirmed Jocko also worked as a carpenter, known as a ‘chippy’ in Australia, before joining his team.
Rather than being bitten off by an angry croc, Jocko’s fingers were actually lost after a mishap with a piece of equipment.
“That’s not the case,” Matt confirmed. “No, he’s a chippy. And he put the fingers in the wrong place when the saw went through.”
