News about Bear Grylls

Strictly Come Dancing head judge Shirley Ballas is reportedly set to join the line-up of Bear Grylls' upcoming Netflix show Bear Hunt after getting the all-clear following her cancer scare. The professional dancer, 63, will join the likes of Spice Girl Mel B, 48, and retired rugby player Danny Cipriani, 36, on the action-packed programme. Bear Hunt - who will appear alongside co-host Holly Willoughby - will show former SAS trooper Grylls hunting down the contestants and when he finds them they will be eliminated from the programme.

Mel B has reportedly signed on to the new Netflix series Bear Hunt which will be fronted by Holly Willoughby and Bear Grylls. The Spice Girl, 48, is said to have agreed to a six-figure sum to appear on the gruelling endurance show, which will see stars forced to rely on their survival skills to elude master adventurer Bear. According to The Sun, Mel flew to Costa Rica this weekend to join the celebrity line-up as filming begins on the reality series, which is slated to premiere next year.

EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: Bear Grylls was chased by lions and pulled underwater by snakes when filming his television adventures, but his elder sister, Lara Fawcett, prefers the treacherous waters of politics. I hear that the PR executive, 57, is due to host a gathering of 'populists' in July - some of whom will be battling it out at the next General Election. Among them is actor-turned-controversial activist Laurence Fox , veteran Tory MP Sir Christopher Chope, Tory-turned-Reform MP Lee Anderson and an unnamed Labour MP. The private invitation, promising 'cocktails, canapes, and conversation' at an unspecified house in the North of England, explains: 'We are gathering a group of politically interested, involved and influential individuals who want to ensure that the next group of leaders we choose understand how to best serve those "ordinary" people'.

Danny Cipriani is to star in Holly Willoughby's new Netflix reality show, MailOnline can reveal. The former England rugby star will jet out to Costa Rica in the coming weeks where he will take part in Bear Hunt - a jungle based programme in which he will be pitted against survival expert Bear Grylls. Cipriani, who has a reputation for being somewhat of a badboy, is understood to have negotiated a six-figure sum to appear on the show which will be Holly's first show away from terrestrial television.

Bear Grylls OBE has revealed he accepts the label of 'the biggest TV flop in history' on night two of his Never Give Up! tour in Newcastle on Thursday. The former SAS trooper's latest show Bear Hunt will air on Netflix in 2025 with Holly Willoughby already confirmed as one of the twelve celebrities competing.  Bear Hunt will see the celebs dropped into a Central American jungle as prey for one of the world's most fearsome predators. Survival expert Bear, who opened his Never Give Up! live tour in Glasgow 's Armadillo venue on Thursday, revealed that he has made around twenty-five TV shows that no one has ever heard of. Bear told his packed-out Newcastle audience: 'I actually listed it out to [my children] only a few weeks ago, all of the TV shows we've had that have been canned after not just one season but sometimes like a couple of episodes in.

WARNING: Graphic content. Television presenter Holly, 43, and her co-host Bear Grylls, 49, will jet to Costa Rica with 10 celebrities this month for the upcoming adventure show. It is claimed ex-special forces and former ­military guns for hire have been brought in to protect Holly from drugs gangs and kidnappers while in the Central American country which has seen a massive uptick in gang and drug violence in recent years. The once peaceful nation saw a record number of homicides in 2023, and a 66 percent increase in murders from 2013 to 2023. More than 70 percent of the killings have been put down to drug trafficking as local gangs - as well as cartels from Mexico and Colombia - fight for control. With authorities struggling to get to grips with the explosion of killings, Costa Rica has even been forced to call on the European Union for help in its battle against the drug trafficking epidemic gripping the country. The influence of Mexican drug gangs and increased cocaine output in Colombia pushed murders to record levels last year, casting a shadow over a country that has long been a beacon of stability in the region.

Holly Willoughby is reportedly caught up in a row with new Netflix bosses after reports of her huge salary for reality show Bear Hunt was leaked.

It was also claimed that Holly had negotiated herself a 'very attractive package' bagging a £1M payday for her first show away from terrestrial television.

Dietitians have slammed a recent book by Oscar winner Robert Downey Jr. that claims that diluted maple syrup is as healthy as tap water, and that potatoes spike our blood sugar like candy - so we'd better avoid replacing lettuce with a block of tree bark.

Some of the tips are also said to be only useful to the'very wealthy,' as lauded produce such as Tree Bark costs around $14 for an eight-ounce bag.
