Bear 'faked' grizzly attack[/size]
SURVIVAL expert Bear Grylls faked a bear attack by getting a
colleague to dress up as one in fancy dress, it was claimed
yesterday.
The star of TV's Born Survivor was filmed creeping out of a tent in
a bear-infested forest, nervously looking at a shadow moving a few
yards away.
Back inside shelter Grylls, 33, says: "It might well have moved
away, but sure as hell it knows Im here."
But an adviser for the Discovery Channel documentary, shown on
Channel 4 last year, claimed the sinister shadow was a fake.
Ron Hood said programme makers asked him to find a bear suit when
plans to hire a tame grizzly for the shot fell through.
Mr Hood added: "They decided they wanted to somehow dramatise the
attack on the shelter."
A Discovery spokesman insisted that the pantomime outfit was hired
as a prank by the crew and no footage which included the bear
costume was broadcast.
Last week it emerged Grylls does not sleep rough in the woods
during episodes of Born Survivor but instead stays in hotels.
