manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Fans have been quick to respond to an update about Holly Willoughby's new Netflix show as she prepares for her debut on the streaming platform.

The former This Morning star ditched the UK earlier this year to film Celebrity Bear Hunt. In a poster for the upcoming series, Holly was seen swapping her usual glamourous attire for a camouflage outfit and hiking boots to host the new competition show in Costa Rica alongside adventurer Bear Grylls.

First release images also show Holly hanging out of a helicopter before landing to welcome the willing celebrities to the show whilst Bear roars through the undergrowth on a motorbike in two very dramatic arrivals.

"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." While the celebrity line-up has yet to be revealed for the series, which will be in eight part, some big names are rumoured to be taking part, including Broadcaster Steph McGovern, Strictly Come Dancing judge Shirley Ballas and Spice Girl Mel B.
