Celebrity Bear Hunt: On the red carpet with the stars at the London premiere

Celebrity Bear Hunt: On the red carpet with the stars at the London premiere

Intrepid explorer and survival expert Bear Grylls pairs up with TV presenter Holly Willoughby in this brand new Netflix reality show, Celebrity Bear Hunt, where 12 celebrity contestants are dropped into the Costa Rican wilderness and presented with a series of tasks. For those that fall below par in the game, they must fight for their survival before Bear Grylls hunts them like prey, facing possible elimination from the show.

A stellar line-up includes big names from sport, comedy and pop and will see the stars go head to head as they are tested to their limits, pushed out of their comfort zones and made to feel like their very own action figures.

The Upcoming had the pleasure of speaking to Kola Bokinni at the London premiere about taking part in the series, the difficult environment they endured and what he took away from the experience.

Danny Cipriani spoke to us about what made him take on the challenge, and how much he admires Bear Grylls and the work he undertakes.

Big Zuu chatted about reuniting with former Spice Girl, Mel B after she previously appeared on his own show and the challenges he faced with whilst filming in Costa Rica for this reality show.

We spoke to Una Healy about why she wanted to take on the challenge and how she felt being part of the experience.

Laurence Llewellyn-Bowen revealed his feelings about his near-death experience, what it was like being on such a difficult set and what he took away from being on the show.

We also spoke to Joe Thomas about being away from his family whilst they filmed the series, which of his former Inbetweener cast mates he thought would also love the experience and what he gleaned from the whole experience.
