CELEBRITY BEAR HUNT PREVIEW
A group of unlikely British celebrities are dropped into the Central American jungle as prey for one of the world's toughest predators, Bear Grylls.
"It's about overcoming, and not falling down," Grylls says. "The celebrities won’t come out of this experience the same."
They’ll live together, learn survival skills and compete in grueling challenges. Lose, and they will face a true primal survival test – being hunted down by Bear Grylls in a deadly escape room, The Bear Pit.
If the celebrities are captured, they'll be eliminated from the show.
