In Celebrity Bear Hunt, a group of celebrities will be dropped into the Central American jungle and be hunted down by survival expert Bear Grylls.

He will put the famous faces through their paces, and competitors who fail to impress him will face the “Bear Hunt” – a game of “cat and mouse” in which they will be eliminated if they are captured.

Netflix explains: “Holly Willoughby 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.

“Bear believes there’s an action hero inside us all – even the celebs – but how strong is their will to survive?

“As Bear puts them through their paces, 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.”

This will be Willougby’s first exclusive project for Netflix.
