The Bear Pit is not a place contestants will want to find themselves in, with its scorching heat, brutal terrain, and untamed jungle creatures.Ben Mitchell, the show's creative director, revealed: "The Bear Pit is something to be feared, the sheer heat makes it hard enough, but it's also brutal terrain - untamed jungle in a naturally constrained area. "It has a crocodile in it (which we've nicknamed Julie), snakes, spiders, monkeys, scorpions.

We haven't put them in there, this is their home. It is genuinely terrifying", reports the M irror."Being pursued is frightening enough, but doing it when you know there are deadly critters, in extreme heat, when you also have to strategize and problem-solve, takes it to another level."The cast has described the experience as "hell," and losing a challenge means facing the extreme conditions of the Bear Pit.According to the official synopsis: "Meet the 12 celebrities taking part in the ultimate game of cat and mouse with the legendary Bear Grylls.

They'll live together, learn survival skills and compete in epic challenges."Lose, and they will face the most primal survival test of them all...
