DESPERATE HOUSEWIFE, NICOLETTE SHERIDAN impressed fiance NIKLAS SODERBLOM during their first meeting, when she saved his life by attacking a great white shark which was edging towards him.
The actress was admiring Soderblom, then a stranger, surfing in the sea when she observed the shark's fin behind her future love.
But the brave 41-year-old risked her life to protect Soderblom from the predator, by racing towards it and punching its face.
She says, "Niklas was on a surfboard and there was a huge great white shark that had come over from Catalina.
"I was doing my daily three-mile swim and I saw this fin and I swam as fast as I could and punched that shark right in the nose, repeatedly. And saved him!"
