Mission Survive, to be screened on ITV, will see eight celebrities compete in a number of tasks and daily missions set out by the ultimate survival expert, Bear Grylls.

The new series will see the celebrities pushed to their physical and emotional limits in the Central American jungle. Bear will be joined by fellow friends and survival experts Megan Hine and Scott Heffield.

Bear Grylls says: “It was without doubt a tough expedition, but also a very life-enhancing adventure for everyone involved.”

Bear, Megan and Scott will be on-hand to guide and help the celebrities, who will be tested on the fundamental principles of survival, which include shelter, fire, food and water.

Each episode will see Bear eliminate one celebrity, leaving just three for the final. Only one celebrity can be crowned Mission Survivor.

Mission Survive with Bear Grylls is due to air later this year on ITV.
