Celebrity Bear Hunt participant Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen really put himself to the test, and she once admitted to having a heart attack.

A number of well-known faces travel to Costa Rica to face challenges as they practice their survival skills in the new Netflix series, which features the interior designer. The celebrities must make an effort to avoid being caught by the survival expert because it is hosted by Bear Grylls and Holly Willoughby.

However, the series hasn’t been without its own accord, as reports claim a celebrity was forced to leave due to a broken leg. Additionally, Laurence almost drowned in a bungee cord-related alarming incident. Speaking of the terrifying incident, Laurence revealed: “In my head, I was some kind of Marvel superhero.

By the time I reached the raft where I was supposed to swim, I was actually Granddaddy Pig, and entering the raft was never going to happen, I was quickly aware. I was trapped beneath the raft. The drowning incident kind of occurred because I got ensnared in some equipment and other things.

“But I managed to free myself. I should have paused and sort of gathered myself at that time, but no, I was then putting myself in the situation and then suddenly I started to black out and have a bear grazing on top of me. While on Times Radio, he added: “I didn’t actually have to be resuscitated.

” Bear was puckering up, he was bearing down on me like a wet bag of spanners, more than happy to resuscitate me, but actually, I came to, at that point. It wasn’t at all pleasant because Lauren believed he was having a heart attack. I mean, it really, really wasn’t. I was blacking out. I believed I was having a heart attack.

“And having then been pumped full of, by the way, about three canisters of oxygen, which is wonderful stuff,” but it was a very solitary activity. I’ve always believed that I had strong physical will. I have regular medicals. Although it appears to be fair to me, it did feel a little like a failure.

When the cord got stuck underneath the boat, causing him to become entangled, reports claimed Laurence was leaping from the boat and into the river. After several minutes of being pulled underwater, production team members leapt in response after he reportedly lost consciousness.

Executive producer of the show, Ben Mitchell said: “There was a very scary moment with Laurence”. Ben went on to add: “The celebs had to jump off a moving speedboat SAS-style. He landed fairly forcefully and was a little shocked in the water, in my opinion. He believed he was suffering from a heart attack.
