Self-confessed "layabout" Gavin Woodhouse experienced the terrifying ordeal during filming of the final episode of the ITV show Bad Lads Army: Extreme - which is due to be broadcast next month.
Quick-thinking Gavin, of Newport, escaped injury after opening his reserve parachute but today said he still suffered nightmares about the experience.
He said he was "petrified" of heights before the plunge and now - six weeks later - still dreamed about plummeting to his death.
