Former Little Mix star Jesy Nelson has reportedly signed up to appear on Netflix’s new survival show, hosted by Holly Willoughby and Bear Grylls.<\/p>\n
Titled Bear Hunt, the series will follow celebrity contestants as they\u2019re pitted against survival expert Bear Grylls.<\/p>\n
The programme has already been described as a more challenging version of the BBC\u2019s Survivor and will be filmed in Costa Rica this summer.<\/p>\n

A source told The Sun: “Casting agents have approached Jesy to see if she would be interested and have deep pockets to ensure it\u2019s worth her time financially.<\/span><\/p>\n “She has a huge fanbase and the reality challenge series would be the perfect comeback for her.<\/span><\/p>\n “Filming takes place for a few weeks so she won\u2019t even be away from home and her creature comforts for too long. Jesy will be incredible.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Netflix bosses are said to be shelling out \u00a310 million to secure a star-studded line-up for the new series.<\/p>\n A source said: \u201cNetflix are determined their collection will be largely killer, with very little filler.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019re not scrimping on paying six-figure fees and aren\u2019t afraid to cough up more for the biggest names.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019ll be shelling out an eight-figure sum in all, so the cast will be one of the most expensive in reality TV history.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bear, 49, and Holly, 43, will reportedly be paid \u00a31 million each for the series.<\/p>\n Holly, who quit ITV\u2019s This Morning last October, has been the face of daytime TV in the UK for over a decade.<\/p>\n Netflix bosses have said: \u201cHolly was their woman for this project from the word go.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThey 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.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A source also said: \u201cHolly and her team grafted for this deal with Netflix and negotiated a very attractive package.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHolly knows her worth and only wants to put her name on credible projects. She is ready to go into the next league.\u201d<\/p>\n The 43-year-old is no stranger to filming in the jungle, as she stepped in to host I\u2019m A Celebrity\u2026 Get Me Out Of Here alongside Declan Donnelly in 2018.<\/p>\n The presenter briefly replaced Ant McPartlin, who was recovering from addiction issues at the time.<\/p>\n
