Holly Willoughby soaked as she’s blasted by snow cannons in brutal first Freeze the Fear challenge
HOLLY Willoughby was soaked as she was blasted by snow cannons in her brutal first Freeze the Fear challenge.
Holly presents the BBC series alongside comedian Lee Mack, and so far, they have watched as the eight celebrities take on a series of intense – and freezing challenges.
Tonight, the pair introduced the next one to the celebs, called Snow Storm.
Lee said: “It’s been designed with Wim’s blessing of course to build up your tolerance to the cold as you’ll be entering what can only be described as a bone-chilling snow storm.”
The celebrities were split into two teams and in a series of one on one battles, they had to find their balance as they walked down icy logs carrying a giant flag against the storm.
The closer they got to the cannons the more intense the blizzard was, and if they fell off, they had to go back to the beginning of the logs and start again.

Once they made it to the end of the logs, they had to plant their flags and stand and take the full force of the cannons for 10 seconds.
Once the two teams were assigned, Holly surprised them by revealing how she would be demonstrating the challenge alongside Lee.
The pair then changed outfits, with Holly wearing a white and black bobble hat, black leggings, polo neck and a white T-shirt which said “What would Wim do?”
She added big boots and gloves as well as protective goggles, and braced herself for the snow storm, while Lee said: “This is horrible” before they had even started.

The presenters set off and Holly maintained good balance for the first few seconds before turning around in the gale and almost falling off.
She then inched sideways along the logs, and while Lee was ahead of her, he fell off in the last seconds, meaning he had to start again.
Holly kept going and planted her flag before holding her position for the required 10 seconds.
The horn then sounded and she won the challenge, before she quickly moved away, soaked through in icy cold water.
She whipped her hat and goggles off and cried “brain freeze!” before admitting: “I’m out of breath!”

Lee turned to her and said: “That’s hard right?” and Holly told the celebs: “You’re going to hate it!”
She wasn’t wrong either, as not only did the celebs have to do the same thing, they had to do it in their swimwear for extra difficulty.
Freeze the Fear airs on BBC One and is available on BBC iPlayer.
