Bear Grylls accused of staging Born Survivor show
With a name like Bear you gotta be tough. And so we, the general public, had been led to believe that Bear Grylls, star of Born Survivor is deserving of his butch moniker. For his Channel 4 show Bear is dropped into various inhospitable wildernesses, with nothing but his skills to keep him alive. However, The Sun is reporting that the TV toughie has had us all fooled and is in fact a big softie.
Survival expert Mark Weinert has claimed that a raft on the programme, shown to have been built by Grylls, was actually his handy work. That he led a team to construct the raft, only for it to be dismantled and Bear filmed re-assembling it. All this, and the revelation that a desert island Grylls visited was actually a smart holiday resort in Hawaii with TV and internet access. Grylls has been unavailable for comment but I’m sure once he returns from his trek in Wales (if that's really where he is), that he’ll be keen to preserve his macho image and set the record straight.
