Holly Willoughby's new Netflix show, Bear Hunt, has reportedly added a member of The Saturdays to its celebrity line-up.

The former This Morning host is teaming up with survival expert Bear Grylls for the show, which is set to begin filming in Costa Rica in May.

The programme, likened to I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, will be launched on Netflix and will feature a group of British celebrities being dropped into the jungle to face Grylls.

The 42-year-old presenter will journey into the Central American jungles for the show, currently titled 'Bear Hunt'.

In the show, Grylls will test the celebrities' survival skills, and those who fail to impress will have to endure the "bear hunt", where he will hunt them down. If they're caught, they're out of the game.

While the participating celebrities are yet to be announced, rumours are already circulating about potential big-name participants, reports OK!.

"Netflix have thrown a significant amount of money at Bear Hunt and they have worked hard to secure celebrities you might not expect to find in the Costa Rican jungle," an insider told The Sun.

According to the source, Una Healy from The Saturdays is among the famous faces heading to Costa Rica to participate in the new show. The mother-of-two is hoping to "show a different side to her", the insider revealed.

"Una has signed up to try and show a different side to her. People know her for the Saturdays, and for her short-lived fling with David Haye. Taking part in Bear Hunt will show a side of her that the public haven't seen before," they said.

Express.co.uk reached out to Netflix for comment.

Rumoured to be joining Una is model Lottie Moss, 26, who is the younger half-sister of supermodel Kate Moss. She previously took part in Celebs Go Dating.

"Lottie is very much signed on for the same reason," the source added. "She has become a celebrity in her own right and has a really interesting backstory. Lottie is a tough cookie and while she is very glamorous, she loves to get her hands dirty and will put everything into succeeding on Bear Hunt."

Filming for the new series is said to be beginning in May, with Holly having jetted out to Costa Rica recently. The show will begin airing in January 2025, and is said to feature at least 10 celebrities.
