Bear revealed that the ordeal left her quite traumatised, he said: “She emailed me since and I think she's got a bit of post-traumatic stress going on.

He continued: “I found this rotting sheep carcass and I thought ‘Oh, good, I can give her some lamb’.

“I stuck the knife in and maggots exploded out. The blood drained from her face.”

Before they start the challenge Bear tells the Hollywood star: “I could give you the Irish menu.

“Birds if you can catch em, worms (lots of), bugs, grubs, insects, flies, crickets, caterpillars.”

Viewers will also see her facing her fears by strapping herself into a safety harness and pulling herself across a ravine on nothing but a wire.

The new series of Running Wild with Bear Grylls airs exclusively in the UK on Discovery Channel, 9pm, Wednesday 31st August
