The Island with Bear Grylls is back, and there’s a twist: this time, two groups – eight men and eight women – will be dropped on opposite sides of the same land mass.
But they will be blissfully unaware of each other’s existence, until they collide.

Launching series three, Bear Grylls explained: “We wanted to take this season to the next level and putting men and women together was the natural progression.
“It is easy to assume that this will turn into a battle of the sexes – but in truth it is much deeper than that and is a battle for survival. That’s not about gender or how big and tough someone may look, that’s about mental strength and character.”
Last year, there were male and female groups – but they each had their own Pacific Island to roam. This time around, “mixing it up big time” will result in some “interesting dynamics”, Bear hinted.
The survivalist teased: “All I’ll say is that it’s inevitable, when you put men and women together, that there are going to be some interesting dynamics that you won’t get so much of in a single sex group.”
He added: “We’re mixing it big time. People have said ‘Oh my God, if you put men and women on an island together, it’s going to be carnage’.
“And in many ways it was carnage, but not always in the way you might expect. The outcome was very affirming by the end, but at times painful to watch.
