Holly said: ‘There were a few moments on this show where I had to dig deep and have a strong word with myself. ‘At those times it was good to have someone like Bear Grylls next to you saying, being brave is about using that fear, harnessing it and doing it anyway.

‘Those words really get in your head and help you, he has definitely given me some transferable skills and being in nature allows you to put your thinking down for a bit and be present.’. She said the reason she decided to front the new programme was because her two sons, and daughter, with TV producer husband Dan Baldwin, are ‘massive fans' of Bear, 50.
