ADVENTURER BEAR GRYLLS ON...

…making series four of Channel 4’s The Island With Bear Grylls It was the hardest season we’ve ever done. We had horrific conditions – it went quite Lord Of The

Flies! It’s a full-on mental, physical, emotional and spiritual assault. …being over-reliant on technology It’s a balance – you don’t want to be just staring at your phone in a zombielike state. I have to go, ‘No, I’m not going to have it in the bedroom, I’m not going to look at it when I go for a pee in the night.’ ...knowing over a million people watched him drink his own pee during Bear Grylls: Mission Survive If somebody had told me, aged eight, that’s what I’d be known for, I’d laugh. ...expanding his family I have three boys [Jesse, 13, Marmaduke, 11, and Huckleberry, eight]. I’d love more kids but my wife, Shara, isn’t so sure. I think we need a girl! ...what drives him to succeed I was never very brilliant at school – but I’ve always leant on the feeling that, if I hang on in there, I can do it.
