Celebrity Island with Bear Grylls: Who is on? Full line up REVEALED
Celebrity Island with Bear Grylls returns to screens later this year and viewers can expect to see a new selection of brave famous faces pack up and leave their luxurious lifestyles behind. The chosen ten will head to a remote island for four weeks. Their aim? Survival. And all they will have are the clothes on their back, basic tools, medical supplies, enough water to last for 24 hours and each other. Amongst the cast for this years series is reality TV stars Pete Wicks who is currently on The Only Way is Essex and former Love Islander Montana Brown. Spandau Ballet singer Martin Kemp will also join ex-Emmerdale actress Roxanne Pallett and Olympic rower James Cracknall.
Also battling survival is boxer Anthony Ogogo, transgender activist Paris Lees, model Jo Wood, TV doctor Saleyha Ahsan and award winning actor and brother of Julia Roberts, Eric Roberts. The celebrities will follow in last year’s footsteps and hunt for food while working together to ensure survival in the tough location. Celebrity Island with Bear Grylls is produced by Shine TV and shown on Channel 4 and it was recently reported that reality star Pete had been “bitten by a shark” during filming. A source told The Sun: “Pete and the rest of the Islanders were checking their fishing nets when he was attacked by the shark. It just came out of nowhere and bit his hand. “It was terrifying. There was blood everywhere and everyone was panicking and trying to run out of the water.”

Finding food and getting along with your fellow Islanders aren’t the only issues the celebrities have to worry about when partaking in the TV show. On finishing the show, many celebrities showed signs of dramatic weight loss. Pete reportedly lost three stone while filming and struggled to gain weight on returning to the UK. He told the publication: “You think you’re going to be able to come back and scoff as much as you want, but physically you can’t. “I’ve been really struggling ever since. It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done, without a doubt.”
