As the full line up for Celebrity Bear Hunt is confirmed host Holly Willoughby says: “I don’t think they knew what they were signing up for.”
The show’s first look images have dropped alongside a trailer which shows famous faces struggling to breathe as they are stranded at sea, others being kidnapped by Bear and another trials Spice Girl Mel B dubs as “terrifying”.
The show looks like I’m A Celebrity crossed with a twist of Channel 4 show The Island with Bear Grylls thrown in for good measure.
Holly adds: “The ultimate survival challenge, twelve celebrities are in the Costa Rican jungle going head-to-head with the legendary Bear Grylls.”
.Amongst the famous faces will be ex-sportsmen Danny Cipriani and Boris Becker mixed with Spice Girl Mel B and TV host Steph McGovern.
Boris says: “I survived prison. I wanna compare that to the wild.
“It’s about overcoming and not falling down.”
Strictly head judge Shirley Ballas will also hope to hot foot it through Costa Rica in front of the cameras whilst the half-sister of Kate Moss, Lottie, will go from the cat walk to keeping her eye out for wildcats.
First look images show Mel B padding along a river and Boris Becker doning a headband as he gets into survival mode. Whilst the celebs are in combat trousers and matching T-shirts one big name still looks like she is on holiday.
Holly Willoughby, who can be seen in a flowery dress looking more relaxed than the others, hosts this action-packed competition show that sees a group of unlikely celebrities dropped into the Central American jungle as prey for one of the world’s most fearsome predators – Bear Grylls.
According to makers Netflix, Bear believes there’s an action hero inside us all – even the celebs – and now we get to watch how they manage to survive as Bear puts them through their paces.
Bear says: “I have done many wild things in my life but I have never hunted celebrities. The celebrities won’t come out of this the same.”
Those who fail to impress will face the dreaded ‘Bear Hunt’ – a brutal game of cat and mouse where they’ll be hunted down by Bear himself and, if captured, face elimination from the show.
