Holly Willoughby announced as host of brand-new BBC entertainment show
Holly Willoughby has landed a brand-new show on the BBC.
The This Morning host is teaming up with Not Going Out's Lee Mack for Wim Hof’s Superstar Survival.
The show will feature a group of "soul-searching celebrities" as they head to some of Europe's harshest conditions to take on some death-defying challenges.
The tasks are set to challenge their mental strength in a bid to challenge their demons.
Speaking of the new show, Holly said: "I can’t wait to team up with Lee and Wim on this show.
"Lee is a favourite in our house because he's so hilariously funny and I've been a fan of Wim for a long time – he's a genius who's incredibly passionate about helping others.
"This show is going to be brilliantly entertaining and you never know… you may find out some things that could help you along the way too."
Lee added: "My passions in life are Wim Hof, watching This Morning in my undies, sub-zero temperatures, looking at celebrities sitting in cold water and free hotels.
"But trying to find a show that combines these has proved tricky. Finally I've found one."
Wim Hof is well known for his extreme athleticism, including running a half marathon above the Arctic Circle barefoot, and climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in just shorts and shoes.
He added: "I've dedicated my life to discovering how to become happier, healthier and stronger, and anything I can do, you can do too.
"It’s a dream come true to be making this show with the BBC and share what I've learnt with millions of people.
"I am going to show this group of celebrities that the cold is a doorway to their soul and if they use the power of their mind anything is possible."
The six-part series will run on BBC One with a spin-off show on BBC Three focusing on the behind-the-scenes drama.
The celebrities are yet to be announced.
