The first look at Holly Willoughby‘s new Netflix series Celebrity Bear Hunt has been released by Netflix.
One jaw-dropping photo captures adventurous Willoughby with her legs dangling outside of a helicopter and her hair blowing in the wind as she flies over the Central American jungle with her co-star Bear Grylls.
The host of the show, who recently returned to TV with ITV’s You Bet, has taken style inspiration from action hero Lara Croft with her camouflage pattern shorts as she stands beside adventurer Grylls.
It appears to be Willoughby’s most daring career gig yet. No doubt it is reminiscent of her time on ITV’s jungle show I’m a Celebrity alongside Dec Donnelly when she was standing in for Ant McPartlin in 2018.
The former This Morning presenter has begun to make a slow comeback to the limelight after Gavin Plumb was imprisoned to life in jail for his plot to rape and murder the ITV star. The terrifying ordeal led her to quit her job on This Morning after 14 years.

Celebrity Bear Hunt
Netflix’s new reality show promises to be action-packed. Set in the backdrop of Costa Rica, celebrities will be put through their paces while Willoughby hosts the show.
The stars who fail to impress Grylls face the dreaded Bear hunt which is a brutal game of cat and mouse where they will be hunted by the adventurer.
If captured, the celebrity faces being eliminated from the reality show. It is built around the notion that Grylls believes there’s an action hero inside us all, including celebrities, and tests the question how strong is their will to survive?
Celebrity Bear Hunt’s line-up, first leaked by The Sun, is reported to include famous faces: Boris Becker, Mel B, Una Healy, Shirley Ballas, Steph McGovern, Joe Thomas, Kola Bokinni, Danny Cipriani, Big Zuu, Lottie Moss, Leomie Anderson, Lawrence Llewelyn-Bowen.
There will be eight episodes of the reality series. It will be available to watch from 5 February.
Another thrilling photograph captures Grylls riding a motorcycle through the rugged terrain.
Where is Celebrity Bear Hunt filmed?
As well as a first look at the hosts on the ground in Costa Rica, there is a glimpse of what the camp is like for the stars competing on the show.
Celebrities will be staying in a hut with two floors, a roof but no walls. The view out onto the beach and the sea is stunning.
Being a reality show, of course there are cameras dotted around camp to capture what is going on.
Upstairs there are simple sleeping quarters, including a bug net above the beds to keep out any of the mosquitoes or insects. Given the red-hot temperatures, there is a thin blanket but there are two pillows per bed for comfort.
The living quarters downstairs includes a sink to wash up, plus essentials including mugs and plates.
There was also a simple dressing room for the stars which included a small wardrobe each, with no doors. It appeared that each star was given a set of clothes to wear for taking part in the Netflix show.
Filming for Celebrity Bear Hunt took place in May earlier this year. There was a medical team on hand 24/7 for the famous faces who were shooting the series, according to The Sun.
It was also reported the stars were warned of venomous snakes, spiders as well as bats that could spread rabies.
