Holly Willoughby broke down in tears filming new show
The bubbly presenter has teamed up with comedian Lee Mack to present 'Freeze the Fear with Wim Hof', which sees a number of celebrities embark on challenges which test them physically and mentally, and Holly admitted she found it tough.
Speaking on 'The One Show', she explained: "This is not something they get voted off or a popularity contest, they are really challenging their minds and bodies.
"All I can tell you is it was intense for everybody, medics were involved, and I was in tears at many many points throughout it.
"It was kind of life changing, it is amazing, it's one of the best things I've ever done."
Holly, 41, was granted a three-week leave of absence from ITV's 'This Morning' to film the new BBC show with Mack, 53.
Holly - who took over on 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!' for Ant McPartlin when he took time off for rehab - flew out to Southern Europe on January 17 to work on the show but returned at weekends to co-present 'Dancing On Ice' with Phillip Schofield.
A source previously told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: "Holly loved 'I’m a Celeb' so much it gave her the confidence to strike out on her own and do more mainstream solo TV projects.
"Holly did an excellent job filling in for Ant and was one of the highlights of the show that year.
"She has high career ambitions and is starting the year as she means to go on.
"However, she absolutely loves 'This Morning' and her on-screen partnership with Phillip, so isn’t going anywhere long-term. She’s just grateful ITV bosses are giving her the freedom to do her own projects."
