Nathan in London

10th of February - Fans met Nathan in London today


 Nathan Sykes: Planning....

 ‏@MaxGeorge Had an amazing journey with you guys, so much love for you all. #friendsforever #VA

Bear Gryll’s Mission Survive interview: @MaxGeorge.

In Bear Grylls’ Mission Survive eight celebrities face a 12 day survival mission unlike anything they’ve ever experienced before. To stay alive they must learn to navigate difficult terrain, build shelter, make fire and eat food that nature provides.

From abseiling down ferocious waterfalls, crossing perilous rapids, trudging through swamps and eating rats and scorpions; this is an epic adventure in the rainforest of Costa Rica.

Max George told us about his time filming the show, which starts next week on itv.

Why did you want to sign up for this?

I thought it would be a lot of fun – especially all the outdoor activities. I have always been a Bear Grylls fan. For me, doing this was an absolute no brainer. I really do respect Bear, I watch his show, I’ve watched his DVDs and I love what he does. I find him entertaining and I wanted to have a go.

How did you find the physical activities?

I wanted to go out there and have a good time. I don’t have any fear of anything. I don’t fear heights. I wanted to give everything a go.

Had you had much camping experience beforehand?

I have done a little bit of camping with my mates in a tent and a bit of fishing by the river. I was not a massive outdoor sleeper before I went on this trip. I have never been on any excursions or a holiday where I spent time in a forest.

Did you enjoy sleeping outdoors?

I loved every minute of it. How oben do you get to sleep under the stars and hear the thousand different birds flying over you? It was really fun.

What did you enjoy most?

Waking up in the morning to find you are in the jungle. I loved doing the physical tasks. They did focus on things like tying knots, which wasn’t my strongest point. The show was about who could build up their character and become stronger throughout the experience.

Which activity did you like best?

When we first got there, we jumped out of a helicopter and into a big swamp. That was really cool. It felt like a real Bear Grylls experience! I really enjoyed that.

What was the most difficult thing?

I’d probably say there were a lot of ropes. It was also quite difficult concentrating on doing one thing in the camp. There were eight people chipping in at once. A lot of the time, I sat back as there were the natural leaders already there – the loud ones. I let them get on with it but I did chip in if I wanted to. There were quite a lot of cooks sometimes too.

Who did you bond with?

Vogue was an absolute sweetheart. She was really lovely. I’d really love to keep in touch with her and Laurence. I got on with them so well. It was a great experience.

Would you like to take on another adventure now?

I am so glad I jumped out of that helicopter and slept out in the jungle. I’ve always wanted to do something like this and I hope I can do it again with my mates.
