Mel B running wild with Bear Grylls

Season 3 of Running Wild with Bear Grylls begins on Discovery later this month, with more celebrities tested on survival techniques in the great outdoors.

Mel B is one of the guests, along with Nick Jonas, Shaquille O’Neal, Courteney Cox, Vanessa Hudgens, skiing champion Lindsey Vonn, NFL player Marshawn Lynch and choreographer Julianne Hough.

Travelling to some of the world’s most remote and pristine locations, each of these accomplished actors, musicians and athletes will endure the harsh wilderness for the 48-hour adventure of a lifetime.

The intrepid celebrities will face some of their deepest fears, tackling everything from wild animals to rock rappelling, and pushing their minds and bodies to the limit as they traverse some of the most unforgiving terrain our planet has to offer. Stepping into the unknown, and onto the cliff’s edge – quite literally – this group of celebrities will endure the harsh wilderness in a high-octane, fast-paced and empowering journey as this season travels from the remote African Savanna, to the wilds of Ireland and the rocky shores of Corsica.

In the first episode, Bear Grylls takes Nick Jonas to the treacherous Sierra Nevada Mountains, where the ice cold temperatures and severe wind chill aren’t the only obstacles the pair will face. Not being one to let his Type 1 Diabetes diagnosis slow him down, Nick pushes himself beyond his comfort zone to overcome the difficult challenges that Bear throws his way. It’s a true test of endurance, as Bear and Nick navigate the snow-covered mountains, avoiding avalanches and stripping down to wade through frigid waters as they make their way towards their extraction point.

In other episodes, Bear takes Julianne Hough on an emotional and breathtaking journey in the African Savanna; Courteney Cox faces a harrowing trek through the Irish Highlands; Shaquille O’Neal battles the Adirondack Mountains; Lindsey Vonn takes an expedition along the rugged Corsican coastline; Mel B roughs it on the shark-infested waters of the Irish coast, Vanessa Hudgens tackles the perilous Sierra Nevada Mountains and Marshawn Lynch puts his survival skills to the test on a two-day adventure in Corsica.

Tuesdays from 17 January at 7.30pm on Discovery.
