‘Bear Grylls spills all about Holly’s Celebrity Bear Hunt nerves’
In simpler terms, Bear Grylls revealed that Holly Willoughby was quite anxious before shooting for her fresh TV series, Celebrity Bear Hunt, which marked her return to television.
43-year-old presenter temporarily stepped back from using screens and attending red-carpet events, except for her commitment to Dancing On Ice, following the public disclosure of a disturbing kidnapping and murder plan targeting her in 2023.
Nevertheless, the star has recently re-emerged in the limelight, this time with an exciting new venture titled “Celebrity Bear Hunt,” marking one of her boldest endeavors to date.
Additionally, Bear, Holly’s fellow actor, clarified that she was quite anxious because she had been thrust into a challenging situation, as he put it, “She found herself swimming in over her head.
On the Chris Evans Breakfast Show with The National Lottery broadcasted on Virgin Radio UK on Tuesday, Bear spoke fondly of collaborating with Holly, expressing that she was simply outstanding.
I haven’t collaborated with someone quite like her before. Her approach is tender and guided by compassion. She appeared anxious. She found herself in over her head, dealing with difficult situations.

She really shone as a wonderful, compassionate presence, adding a touch of heartfelt empathy and affection that made the celebrities feel more comfortable when returning to camp, since many were anxious. Her demeanor seemed to calm everyone down, providing a soothing balm to the otherwise high-energy atmosphere. And she truly excelled in her role. She did an excellent job.
As per Netflix, the reality show features a team of unexpected stars who are transported into the dense Central American wilderness, becoming potential targets for one of Earth’s most formidable predators – the Brown Bear.
As Bear puts them through their paces, those who fail to impress will face the dreaded ‘Bear Hunt’.
In “The Bear Hunt,” it’s believed to be a grueling game of predator and prey, where the bears are pursued relentlessly by their own kind, and if caught, they risk being removed from the competition.
The new collection unveiled by management is nothing short of spectacular, boasting an impressive roster that includes Mel B from the Spice Girls, Shirley Ballas from Strictly Come Dancing, tennis legend Boris Becker, and Lottie Moss, a renowned model.
Additionally, joining the distinguished roster are Joe Thomas from The Inbetweeners, interior designer Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, broadcaster Steph McGovern, singer Una Healy, actors Kila Bokinni and Leomie Anderson, as well as rugby player Danny Cipriani.
Recently, Holly has shared insights on the difficulties she faced when returning home following her work absence last year.
After transitioning into a stay-at-home mom role, the previous host of This Morning shared that spending entire days alone without interaction was difficult for her. She yearned to converse with her children – Harry (15), Chester (10), and Belle (13) – upon their return from school, but found they were often too drained.


She shared with The Sunday Times: “It’s been tough for everyone, as we’re all learning to adapt to working with one another once more, if you catch my drift?
Let me clarify, when I was spending most of my time at home, as soon as the kids arrived, I would often ask them, “What’s new?” since I hadn’t interacted with anyone else throughout the day.
Typically, I’m engrossed in work and completely drained by the end of the day, so when I ask my kids, “Hey, how was your day?”, they respond with a casual, “Hi Mom.” Then, to my surprise, I find myself asking, “So, what went on at school today?” To which they retort, “Mom, you’ve been home all day – we’ve been at school, we’re tired ourselves.
As a lifestyle expert, I must admit there’s nothing quite like the joy I experience during the school run. I imagine many parents secretly envy me for not having to do it regularly, considering my early-morning TV commitments. However, getting back to this simple routine brings a unique sense of fulfillment that no job perk can match.
Additionally, she mentioned that she’d been able to attend more activities involving her kids, whom she co-parents with her television producer spouse Dan Baldwin.
