However, during filming, things were far from rosy with tensions reaching fever pitch among the celebrity cast, which included stars such as Strictly judge Shirley Ballas, model Lottie Moss and rugby hunk Danny Cipriani.
As well as facing the daily challenges and escaping Bear Grylls' clutches in the missions, the stars have to bed down beside one another in their shared Costa Rican lodgings.
Whilst there was always the chance of tension, Netflix bosses were not prepared for the level of arguing among the cast and were forced to intervene before things really got out of hand.
A source told The Sun: “There were some big personalities there and naturally, tensions started to brew.

"Tempers started to fray and people didn’t hold back.
"Things got so bad one night that the big bosses called an emergency meeting to remind the celebs that this was supposed to be a family friendly show.
"This really didn’t go down well with the stars, including Danny Cipriani – the last thing he wanted was to be on a show like Big Brother, which is full of rows and drama.”
The Sun has approached Netflix for comment.

The Sun revealed how Rugby ace Danny was left fuming after believing Holly Willoughby had "every decision" based around her.
Another insider told us: "Danny seemed to think host Holly was getting special treatment and every decision was being made around her comfort."
They added: "Danny was adamant he was going to leave and even packed his bags, giving producers no option but to step in.

"They persuaded him to stay but it really ruined the rest of his time on the show.
"He made a couple of new friendships but it’s safe to say Danny has ruled out reality TV for good – he was relieved when it was over and couldn’t wait to get back to LA."
