BBC One\u2019s upcoming reality show Freeze the Fear with Wim Hof will see hosts Holly Willoughby and Lee Mack put eight celebrities through a series of cold challenges, designed to push their minds and bodies to the limit.<\/p>\n

While the pair won\u2019t be jumping in the ice with them, they have revealed that they did their own cold water challenge off-camera.<\/p>\n

The series follows celebrities Patrice Evra, Gabby Logan, Alfie Boe, Dianne Buswell, Professor Green and other stars as they embrace the cold with the help of Wim Hof \u2013 an extreme athlete known as The Iceman for his ability to withstand freezing temperatures.<\/p>\n

Speaking to RadioTimes.com<\/a> and other press at a Q&A for the BBC One show, Mack spoke about the time he took on the cold with Willoughby.<\/p>\n

\u201cMe and Holly tried it,\u201d Mack said, before Willoughby interrupted: \u201cOh \u2013 you say we tried it.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cRight \u2013 I tried it for three seconds. Holly tried it for 10 seconds. It was amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked what they did, Willoughby said that they tried the cold water experience \u201cin their downtime\u201d at the hotel spa.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was like an ice cold shower\u2026 I have got it all on film. I will put it on Instagram,\u201d she said.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mack continued: \u201cWhen you have a cold shower, it\u2019s nothing like the cold out there, is it? That\u2019s proper cold. Cold shower is what, 10 degrees?\u201d<\/p>\n

Over the course of the series, the celebrities will be taking part in the cold water experiences in the Italian mountains in sub-zero conditions to change their lives for the better.<\/p>\n

Freeze the Fear with Wim Hof starts on BBC One and BBC iPlayer<\/a> at 9pm on Tuesday 12th April. Looking for something else to watch? Check out our TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0or visit our\u00a0Entertainment<\/a>\u00a0Hub for all the latest news and features.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
