He first hosted the hit Discovery Channel series Man vs. Wild, which became one of the most-watched shows on the planet, reaching an estimated 1.2 billion viewers. Since then he has gone on to host more extreme adventure TV shows across more global networks than anyone else in history, including Running Wild with Bear Grylls and the Emmy Award-nominated interactive Netflix show You vs. Wild. The first series aired in 2015 and was won by DJ and model Vogue Williams. [3] Shortly after the first series aired, it was announced that the show would return in 2016 and was won by Arsenal L.F.C. player Alex Scott. [4] The storyline is very fast paced. On one hand, this pace could mean the story is more engaging but on the other I felt this meant that a lot of character and scene descriptions were glossed over. The writer has interwoven interesting survival tips throughout the story, which in most parts complement the storyline well. In October 2021, Grylls released his second autobiography, Never Give Up; covering some of his most memorable events and adventures.

In August 2015, Grylls left his 11-year-old son on Saint Tudwal's Island off the North Wales coast, as the tide approached, leaving him to be rescued by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) as part of their weekly practice missions. The child was unharmed, though the RNLI later criticised Grylls for the stunt, saying its crew "had not appreciated" that a child would be involved. [18] The show caused controversy after a programme consultant revealed that Grylls actually stayed in a hotel on some nights — including an episode in Hawaii in which Grylls was ostensibly stranded on a deserted island — and that certain scenes were staged for him. [62] Grylls subsequently apologized to viewers who might have felt misled. [62] Colour key: Celebrity got through to the next episode. Celebrity was eliminated. Celebrity was the series runner-up.
