BEAR Grylls and Holly Willoughby’s new Netflix show is set for a cast feud due to two celebs’ secret history.
Bear Hunt will see a string of celebrities try to evade being “hunted” by the survival expert. If they’re caught, they’re eliminated.
And while a string of names have been attached to the project, it appears one surprise feud has emerged before cameras even started rolling.
Una Healy and Danny Cipriani might end up at loggerheads over her ex-husband Ben Foden‘s comments from back in 2010.
The former Northampton Saints player had made a major jibe at his rival for letting his off-field lifestyle threaten his career.
He told The Mirror: “My girlfriend is in the limelight more than me.
“If I am ever pictured with her it’s normally, ‘Here is Una Healy… and rugby boyfriend Ben Foden’. I’m never going to be the main focus.
“I’ve never been a big clubber anyway. It’s always been a part of the rugby culture to get drunk – but I do it with the boys! For me, it’s rugby, rugby, rugby.
“Cipriani has been a bit unlucky. He has probably done it a bit too soon. He needed to concentrate on his rugby a little bit more.”
Fast-forward 14 years and his remarks haven’t been forgotten, with a source telling The Sun: “Danny is still fuming about it.
“This will make it awkward for them both as Una tries to keep a good relationship with Ben for sake of her kids and now she has to be around someone who hates her ex.
“It’s not exactly comfortable for either of them and could see them clashing.”
Bear Hunt line-up
Holly Willoughby’s new TV show alongside adventurer Bear Grylls has drawn in some big names.
The following are set to appear:
Ted Lasso star Kola Bokinni
Spice Girl Mel B
Little Mix’s Jesy Nelson
Former tennis star Boris Becker
Strictly judge Shirley Ballas
Retired rugby player Danny Cipriani
The big budget show, hosted by Holly, will see celebs learn survival skills with adventurer Bear.
He will then chase them through the jungle, with the stars racing away from him in order to win.
Those set to take part include Ted Lasso star Kola Bokinni, Spice Girl Mel B, Little Mix’s Jesy Nelson, former tennis star Boris Becker, and Strictly judge Shirley Ballas.
Formally announcing the show, which will air next year, Netflix said: “Bear believes there’s an action hero inside us all — even the celebs — but how strong is their will to survive?
“As Bear puts them through their paces, those who fail to impress will face the dreaded ‘Bear Hunt’ — a brutal game of cat and mouse where they’ll be hunted down and, if captured, eliminated from the show.”
The Sun has contacted Danny’s representatives for comment.
