“I was teamed up with Lara Bingle and her and I were running down a wharf.

“She was great. I jumped onto a boat and I tripped over a string. She was going on like a bloody animal: ‘get up get up’. I was nearly crying but didn’t want to look like a p****.”
Beau then went on to reveal some info about the upcoming series.

“Casting is finished. Around 10,000 people applied. Everyone wants to be on TV and everyone wants to win money.

“We’ve got every culture and every state covered.”

But what about the countries the contestants will travel to?

While Beau remained tight-lipped, he admitted that he needed “six needles, [vaccinations] and four were for one country.”

Attempting to guess where some of the action took place, Kyle prompted: “so you went to Africa?”

“We’re going to wild parts of the world. I’m not allowed to say,” Beau teased.

This time around, the show will see teams of two travel the globe “from Shanghai dumplings to Outback dingoes”, competing in challenges to win a $250,000 cash prize.
