The most recent series of Bear Grylls: Mission Survive saw stars including Coronation Street actress Michelle Collins and former England footballer and coach Stuart Pearce struggle through challenges set by Bear in the wilds of southern Africa, before Arsenal Ladies and England footballer Alex Scott won the 12-day mission.
The first series featured actress Emilia Fox and her brother Laurence, as well as retired rugby player Mike Tindall. It was filmed in Costa Rica and was won by DJ and model Vogue Williams.

A spokeswoman for ITV said: “We had two exciting series of Mission Survive but the commissioning team continues to refresh the channel’s entertainment portfolio and so we have taken the decision not to commission a further series.
“We would like to thank Bear and the production team for everything that they achieved with the series. We have a number of projects with Bear in the pipeline and we will be announcing more details in due course.”
Bear Grylls Survival School will be returning to CITV for a second series soon.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.
