In early 2015, I found myself immersed in an intriguing endeavour: planning and coordinating a live TV stunt with Bear Grylls and ITV studios.

It all began in early February when I received an email trail proposing an exciting concept to launch the new series of ‘Mission: Survive.’

The plan involved speeding up the Thames River in London with Bear, dropping him on a sandbank near ITV studios, and orchestrating a thrilling surprise as he climbed a rope and swung through the window, surprising Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford on the daytime TV show, ‘This Morning.’

It was far from an ordinary Friday morning, to say the least!
