Netflix's Holly Willoughby 'thrown in the deep end' as Liverpool update thrills fans
Holly Willoughby thrilled fans as she shared a Liverpool update. The Dancing On Ice presenter regularly keeps fans posted with her life in showbiz on Instagram.
The 43-year-old is set to appear on our screens in a different light this week when she fronts brand new programme, Celebrity Bear Hunt. The show will see twelve famous faces putting their survival skills to the test in the Costa Rican jungle.
The contestants will be dropped into the jungle with Bear Grylls and face elimination from the show if they are captured by the British adventurer. Celebrity Bear Hunt lands on Netflix tomorrow and Holly can't wait for fans to see the new show.

She has shared a snap taken by This Morning producer, Vicki Laycock, of a huge billboard advertising the new show. Followers were excited when they spotted the iconic St Johns Beacon, known to many as the Radio City tower, in the background.
A follower named Sophie said: "Oh hello Liverpool." Adrian commented: "Casting sunshine across the city!" Vicky branded it the ideal entrance into the city as she said: "Eeek a perfect greeting." Holly responded: "great photo."
Holly's former This Morning co-host Dermot O'Leary also took to the comments as he said: "Huge! Xx" Nicole Appleton shared a heart eyes emoji.
Netflix confirmed the line-up for 'Celebrity Bear Hunt', which will feature Strictly Come Dancing head judge, Shirley Ballas, Spice Girls singer Mel B and former tennis player, Boris Becker.
Bear said: "I've done many wild things in my life - but I've never hunted celebrities. He added: "These celebrities won't come out of this experience the same."
On hosting the show, Holly told the PA News Agency: "I like being outdoors a lot, but I don’t do it enough. When I got this role, I thought, just say yes and see what happens.
"Being in Costa Rica really does throw you in at the deep end. It’s a beautiful country and the wildfire is truly wild. I think anyone who saw me in I’m A Celebrity knows I’m not great with bugs and I’m not sure I’ve gotten any better… luckily, I had Bear Grylls on speed dial."
She added: "All the challenges are designed to teach survival skills and test resilience. Throughout the experience, participants will need to combine the two and complete the ultimate challenge of the Bear Pit.
"In the pit, you either have to escape or evade being captured by Bear by completing a variety of tasks. Some of these challenges really test their [contestants] fears and prepare them for working under stress, while others involve working as a team or using survival skills, like tying knots or lighting fires.
“It all looks like fun until you’re under pressure, up against the clock and being hunted by Bear Grylls. You think, I could walk across that ravine, but then when you add all the extra elements to it, that’s when it doesn’t become fun anymore and sounds quite terrifying.”
