Bear Grylls reportedly set to host bizarre new BBC show that sees 'feuding people rekindle through nature'
Bear Grylls is reportedly lined-up to host a bizarre new BBC show that will see the born survivor 'rekindle feuding people through nature'. The 51-year-old adventurer will lead colleagues, friends and neighbours alike on an expedition in Wild Reckoning, according to a TV source. It's thought the show will air next year, after his Netflix series Celebrity Bear Hunt was axed after just one series. But it seems he's back with something a little different this time. An insider told The Sun: 'Bear will be back doing what he does best - showing people that nature is the best healer. 'He's married for 25 years and a dad of three so is well versed in handling such challenges.' Bear has previously said that good communication with wife Shara, 51, and their three sons is the key to getting along. Daily Mail has contacted the BBC and Bear's reps for comment. In June, it was confirmed Netflix have axed their big money television show Celebrity Bear Hunt. The programme, which was set in Costa Rica and was hosted by Holly Willoughby alongside Bear Grylls, won't return. Sources close to the show which aired in February say that while the ratings did well it was expensive to make and Netflix are now planning to do more live events rather than pre-recorded shows. One told MailOnline: 'Everyone was very proud of the show but when it came to it, it was just so expensive to make. 'You had to have a whole set in Costa Rica, loads of staff and loads of celebrities. The overheads were eyewatering.' It is understood that cheaper locations were looked at but nothing was appeared to be suitable. Celebrity Bear Hunt had an impressive line up of celebrities including Spice Girl Mel B and tennis player Boris Becker who would not have been cheap to hire, according to sources. Other celebrities that took part included Lottie Moss, Danny Cipriani, Big Zuu, Joe Thomas, Kola Bokinni, Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, Leomie Anderson, Shirley Ballas, Steph McGovern and Una Healy. The show, which was Holly's first programme with Netflix, featured twelve celebrities who are sent to a jungle in Costa Rica, where they were forced to avoid being hunted down by Grylls. Along the way, the celebrities faced various challenges and solve puzzles.
