BBC Three has wrapped filming for its new series Freeze the Fear with Wim Hof.
Extreme athlete Wim Hof, aka The Iceman, will train eight celebrities for a series of physically and mentally draining challenges over six episodes.
The intrepid contestants include musical theatre legend Alfie Boe OBE, singer songwriter Chelcee Grimes, Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer Dianne Buswell, sports presenter Gabby Logan MBE, Welsh weatherman-drummer Owain Wyn Evans, former footballer Patrice Evra, rapper Professor Green and actress Tamzin Outhwaite.
The celebrities will live together in a tented village in Northern Italy in sub-zero temperatures, taking on challenges that will only become more daring as the series progresses.
Hof, who has dedicated his life to proving the strength of human minds and bodies through outrageously bold (and cold) acts like running a half marathon above the Arctic circle barefoot or submerging himself in ice for 1hr 52mins, will be on hand to guide them through the cold-water therapy.
Iceman superfan Holly Willoughby and comedian Lee Mack will host the programme.
Freeze the Fear with Wim Hof will air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer in Spring 2022. A BBC Three spin-off show will accompany the series.
