According to rumours, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) series Freeze the Fear With Wim Hof starring Holly Willoughby does not have any present plans for a second season.
The competition show was co-hosted by the presenter of This Morning, who is 41 years old, and comedian Lee Mack, who is 54 years old. The show featured eight celebrities competing in a series of challenges while they were exposed to extremely cold temperatures.
In each episode, Dutch extreme athlete and motivational speaker Wim would prepare the renowned faces in preparation for the challenges that would test them physically as well as emotionally.
The series premiered in April of the previous year and consisted of a total of eight episodes. Comedian Munya Chawawa and YouTube star Yung Filly hosted the spin-off programme “Munya and Filly Get Chilly” on BBC Three.
At the time this article was written, it would appear that BBC executives have decided to shelve the show Freeze the Fear.
‘Since 2004 Holly has almost exclusively worked for ITV as one of the channel’s most prized presenters,’ a source said.
‘So it was a big deal in the industry that she was hopping over to the BBC and showed she had real confidence in Freeze the Fear being a big success.
‘But as it stands there’s been no work done on a second series.’
The insider added to The Sun: ‘This time last year the team were months into pre-production and filming was just two weeks away.
‘Never say never, but as it stands no decision has been made on the future of the show.’

Put An End To The Fear With The likes of Alfie Boe, Chelcee Grimes, and Dianne Buswell were thrown together by Wim Hof. Gabby Logan was also included.
In addition to Owain Wyn Evans and Patrice Evra, Tamzin Outhwaite and Professor Green were also a part of the cast.
Holly’s fascination in Wim’s techniques of deep breathing and cold water therapy to stimulate the immune system served as the primary impetus for the show, which was produced by Holly’s husband, Dan Baldwin.
‘The celebrities taking part will be tackling wild and death-defying challenges in Europe’s harshest conditions, for a journey of serious self-discovery in a bid to defeat their demons, from anxiety and insomnia to ongoing health conditions, and they will all need to dig deep to embrace the sub-zero temperatures,’ the BBC said of the show.
