Holly Willoughby joins new Netflix reality show after quitting This Morning

Holly Willoughby has signed up to host a new Netflix reality show, titled Bear Hunt.

The series will follow celebrity contestants as they’re pitted against survival expert Bear Grylls.

The programme has already been described as a more challenging version of the BBC’s Survivor, and will be filmed in the South American jungle.

A show insider told MailOnline: “It’s a great and such an exciting fresh series and of course a great challenge for Holly.”

Netflix bosses are said to be “ecstatic” that they’ve booked her, as another source said: “Holly was their woman for this project from the word go.”

“They are absolutely delighted to have got her to sign on the line, hopefully there will be many more opportunities to work with her down the line too.”

Production on the series will start later this year, and the show is set to air in 2025.

The 43-year-old is no stranger to filming in the jungle, as she stepped in to host I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here alongside Declan Donnelly in 2018.

The presenter briefly replaced Ant McPartlin, who was recovering from addiction issues at the time.

News of Holly’s latest TV gig comes just days after Cat Deeley officially replaced her on This Morning alongside Ben Shepherd, five months after she announced her departure.

The mother-of-three sensationally quit the programme after 14 years in October, after an alleged plot to kidnap and murder her was exposed by police.

Holly remained out of the spotlight for months after the scare, but returned to TV screens in January to host Dancing On Ice alongside Stephen Mulhern.
