Retired rugby player Danny Cipriani reportedly threatened to quit Netflix's upcoming reality show 'Celebrity Bear Hunt' after feeling one star received preferential treatment. Cipriani, who joined the cast alongside other celebrities like Mel B and Boris Becker, allegedly felt uncomfortable with the perceived favoritism shown towards host Holly Willoughby. Despite producers reportedly convincing him to stay, the alleged conflict reportedly overshadowed his experience on the show, leading Cipriani to rule out future reality TV appearances.
Weeks before its premiere, a reported casting issue on Netflix 's upcoming reality show , Celebrity Bear Hunt , has surfaced. The show, which sees survival expert Bear Grylls team up with former This Morning host Holly Willoughby , features a star-studded cast including Mel B, Steph McGovern, Shirley Ballas, and Boris Becker.
Retired rugby player Danny Cipriani reportedly became disgruntled with what he perceived as 'special treatment' afforded to one of the celebrities on the show, leading him to threaten to leave. A source close to the production told The Sun that Cipriani, despite initially being excited to participate and learn from Grylls in Costa Rica, felt that Willoughby was receiving preferential treatment and that decisions were being made primarily around her comfort. The source explained that Cipriani, who has been vocal about his commitment to fairness and equality, found this situation unsettling. Cipriani reportedly packed his belongings and insisted on leaving the production, but producers reportedly convinced him to stay. This alleged conflict, however, is said to have significantly impacted Cipriani's experience on the show. The source further stated that Cipriani has now ruled out any future involvement in reality television. Celebrity Bear Hunt, set to premiere on February 5th, promises an intense competition where the celebrities, hunted by Grylls himself, must battle to survive and avoid elimination. The show's synopsis teases a thrilling showdown: 'Holly Willoughby hosts this action-packed competition show that sees a group of unlikely celebrities dropped into the Central American jungle as prey for one of the world’s most fearsome predators – Bear Grylls. 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 by Bear himself and, if captured, face elimination from the show.' Metro has reached out to Netflix and Danny Cipriani's representatives for comment
