Fame and celebrity

The couple met when Bear Grylls was caught accidentally skinny-dipping on a beach in Scotland, and the pair have been together for more than 25 years

Man vs. Wild survivalist Bear Grylls arrived on Netflix earlier this spring with his new reality show Celebrity Bear Hunt. Hosted by Holly Willoughby, the competition pits 12 famous contestants against Grylls in a survival game set in the Costa Rican jungle, with a cast that includes Mel B, Shirley Ballas, Kate Moss’ sister Lottie and more.

Recently, Ballas told Radio Times that in her experience, the show was “complete jeopardy”, and the Get Out Alive host revealed to The Sun that at one point, a crocodile was “lasering into” Mel B.
