Taking to X - formerly Twitter - one wrote: "That's quite clever filleting a fish with your bare hands." Another added: "Remi just pulling bones out with her bare hands like a legend. Knives are for weaklings." A third joked: "'Last up is Remi who's torn apart a cow with her bare hands….'" Meanwhile a fourth wrote: "excited by ho){kind=link}
