BBC Breakfast star Owain Wyn Evans has dished the dirt on what fans can expect from new series Freeze The Fear with Wim Hof.
The new celebrity survival show, hosted by Holly Willoughby and Lee Mack, hits our television screens on April 12.
Viewers will see will see eight famous faces challenge themselves in sub-zero temperatures to achieve incredible results and overcome fears.
Owain, 38, spoke to his BBC co-stars Charlie Stayt and Rachel Burden about his time filming the show.
He explained: “It sounds very cheesy but it did change my life this experience.
“When I was there I was embracing the cold water and getting into ice and I never thought i’d do something like that.

“It’s something I still use on a daily basis to help me get on with my day.”
Charlie went on to ask his colleague who “screamed the most” while taking on the tough challenges.
A giggling Owain replied: “I screamed quit a lot to be honest.
“We all got emotional at times as well. It was such a lovely bunch of people to be with.
“We all wanted to be there and It’s safe to say we all screamed at various times.

“A lot of people kind of found out more about themselves while filming. It’s something I think about every single day, like the breathing exercises, which I didn’t think would.”
The show takes Owain, former footballer Patrice Evra, TV’s Gabby Logan, opera singer Alfie Boe, actress Tamzin Outhwaite, Strictly’s Dianne Buswell, rapper Professor Green and singing footballer Chelcee Grimes to the Italian mountains.

Over eight episodes, the group attempt harder and harder challenges as they become better at controlling their minds and bodies. Holly says the cold cannot be underestimated.
In next Tuesday’s dramatic opener episode, viewers will see the celebs jump through ice into the freezing depths below and perform a forward-facing abseil down a sheer cliff. It’s not for the faint-hearted.
