Spice Girl Melanie Brown has said being hunted by Bear Grylls for a new Netflix series was the âscariest thingâ and akin to a ânightmareâ.
Celebrity Bear Hunt, hosted by former This Morning presenter Holly Willoughby, sees famous faces dropped into the jungle and become prey for survival expert Grylls.
The contestants stay in a lodge and are pursued by Grylls, 50, when they enter the Bear Pit, where they are given a map and different options for escape.
Brown, 49, told the PA news agency: âIt was the worst, most scariest thing.
âItâs like one of those dreams that you know is a dream, and itâs a nightmare, but itâs actually true.â

She continued: âAt one point he was up there, and I was underneath the rock, and I could hear him breathing, and Iâm thinking, âDo I move? Donât I move?â
âItâs like pure panic and then when you know heâs on to you, you start to run like the panthers and hope that you donât fall over and damage any part of your body because once he starts running at you, that is it.
âAnd I didnât even know he could run that fast.â
Irish singer Una Healy told PA the Bear Pit âwas like a horror filmâ, adding: âItâs scary looking on the outside, and then you go in to the complete unknown.
âYouâre given a map, and you just donât know, like you get lost in there, the Bear Pitâs really, just so big.â
The terrain in Costa Rica, where the show was filmed, meant that the competitors also faced injuries.
TV presenter Steph McGovern said: âI was permanently covered in bruises, my first thing where I get caught by Bear, I managed to get his hand print in bruises on my legs.
âI mean, I bruise easily, he was just doing his job.

âSo Iâm covered, youâll see throughout, my legs are just covered in bruises the whole time.
âBut the main injury was when I fell off a cliff and hit a wall and then kind of hurt my nose and stuff like that.
âAnd again, I had the worldâs biggest bruise on my bum.â
Presenter Willoughby, 43, said all of the contestants surprised her and suggested that people might âunderestimateâ the female celebrities competing.
âYou canât help but have previous expectations of all of them really,â she told PA. âYou sort of have an idea in your head âWell, that personâs gonna be like this, or Iâve seen that person doing this sort of thingâ, and I think weâre all a bit guilty of putting people in boxes.
âAnd actually, all of them surprised me.â
Grylls added: âI got a real kick out of seeing people like Shirley (Ballas) really come alive.

âSo I think she sort of arrived a little back foot, feeling sheâs older than everyone else, sheâs never done anything like this before. Howâs she going to cope?
âBut actually, so much of survival and adventure is a state of mind, itâs how you approach stuff.
âAnd you canât get to be at that level of her profession and dancing without having a streak of steel, being committed, brave, good under pressure. So she started to really grow.â
Willoughby added: âAll the girls, really, because I think sometimes you think, you put girls in that environment, and people underestimate some of the girls, you know, like Lottie (Moss) and those girls.
âYou look at this beautiful girl, and you think, is she made of any tough stuff? And I tell you what, sheâll surprise you in there.â
The other competitors include model Leomie Anderson, Ted Lasso star Kola Bokinni and TV interior designer Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen.
TV chef Big Zuu, The Inbetweeners actor Joe Thomas, former tennis player Boris Becker and retired rugby player Danny Cipriani complete the line-up.
Celebrity Bear Hunt is on Netflix from February 5.
