Lee Mack has spoken about working with Wim Hof on BBC One\u2019s new reality show Freeze the Fear, describing the Ice Man as \u201ca proper bona fide lunatic\u201d.<\/p>\n

Hosted by the comedian and This Morning\u2019s Holly Willoughby, Freeze the Fear sees eight celebrities undergo a series of cold challenges in the Italian mountains with extreme athlete Wim Hof, who is best known for his ability to withstand freezing temperatures, as their guide.<\/p>\n

Speaking to RadioTimes.com<\/a> and other press at a Q&A for the BBC One show, Mack said that Hof was \u201camazing\u201d in the series.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s a proper bona fide lunatic \u2013 it\u2019s not for effect,\u201d the Not Going Out<\/a> star explained. \u201cEveryone has a certain on-screen persona but when the camera cuts, he carries on. He just carries on.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019ll show you the splits on camera, he\u2019ll show you again off camera as well. He\u2019s the real McCoy. I think anyone that\u2019s good on TV is their real self and he is the most real person I\u2019ve ever seen on TV. This is what he\u2019s like. This isn\u2019t for effect, this is how the lunatic dresses.\u201d<\/p>

The likes of Patrice Evra, Gabby Logan, Alfie Boe, Dianne Buswell, Tamzin Outhwaite, Owain Wyn Evans, Professor Green and Chelcee Grimes are taking part in the series, during which they\u2019ll face a series of cold challenges designed to push their bodies and minds.<\/p>\n
