Matthew Scott, 19, said that he was "very grateful to be back in England" but voiced his concern for the other hostages still trapped in the jungle."
"I would like to say thank you to the indigenous people and the Colombian army. I am very concerned for the other hostages. They are not just names and faces to me," he said.
Mr Scott was marched along a mountainous jungle track with seven other frightened hostages before making his escape the day after being captured.
He leapt from a high ravine and plunged into a swollen river before stumbling across some indigenous people after 12 days alone in the jungle.
