Ray Mears has addressed his long-standing rivalry with Bear Grylls, claiming that he wasn’t aware that his fellow TV host was still making shows.
Ray Mears addresses long-standing Bear Grylls 'rivalry‘ ‘He does his thing, I do mine’ says Mears.
Grylls, 50, previously called Mears’ comments about him "rude" and "outrageous" but he conceded that the BBC presenter was “much tougher” than him.
Mears, who is a professional woodsman and instructor, began presenting television in the mid-1990s eventually fronting his own shows including Bushcraft and World of Survival.
The show will revolve around 12 celebrities surviving in the Costa Rican jungle, while Grylls hunts them down like the Predator.
