The latest season of Bear Gryll’s TV show Survivor is to be set in London club Fabric at 6am.
In the most challenging season yet, celebrities must survive multiple early hours sessions at the world famous club. The celebs will each be dosed with strong pills before being sent in to the club at 6am.
Once inside they will have to complete challenges, such as building a shelter out of beer cans, finding a mate’s iPhone on the floor and navigating to Room 2 – all while gurning their chops off – before finally leaving the club at 11am, to make their way back to a small apartment in Wood Green and be ready for work on Monday morning.
Aside from a basic first aid kit, containing emergency supplies of Marlborough Golds, Ketamine and pre-rolled spliffs, the contestants will have to source everything they need in the club, from more ‘E’s, to food and red bull.
Wunderground spoke to Bear Grylls, who was hiding naked in the carcass of a cow just off the A1, about what he expects from the contestants. “It’s going to be extreme”, Grylls said, “they will need to push their limits to survive. The last time I went out all the kebab shops were shut so I had to eat my friend Dave for sustenance.”
“Then, when I couldn’t get a taxi home, I had to hollow out Dave’s carcass and sleep inside it.”
Grylls said that viewers can expect “advanced survival techniques, situations that push the limits of the contestants and, of course, lots of sleeping in carcasses”.
Celebrities rumored to feature in the programme include Phil from Eastenders, Jodie Marsh’s dog groomer, Coldplay lead whinger Chris Martin and former Happy Monday’s frontman Bez.
Wunderground spoke to Keith Reilly, co-owner of Fabric, about the challenge and celebrity appearances in the club.
“We would never usually let Chris Martin anywhere near us or our club,” said Keith, “the man is one of the whiniest, soppiest dickheads about, but we do think it will be funny to watch him eat his own face”.
We also caught up with Bez, who was coming up hard by the bins outside the Hacienda club in Manchester, to ask him how he planned to survive. “I’ll just ‘ave a couple o’ pills lad, make some yankee dollar, few more pills, top night, know-what-I-mean”. Cheers for that Bez.
