They say it's an ill wind that blows nobody any good... and Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen has cause to celebrate his bravery in taking on the Netflix survival show Celebrity Bear Hunt. The flamboyant interior designer was involved in a freak accident during filming in Costa Rica last year when he jumped off a boat and then became entangled in a bungee rope, causing him to be dragged under the vessel.
