Story

TV Presenter Helen Fospero and TV Astronomer Mark Thompson are back with TOWIE's Lydia Bright, Made in Chelsea's Sam Thompson and James Dunmore. Our team of adventurers are taking on the wilds of the Borneo jungle and summiting Mount Kinablu, the 20th highest mountain in the world! 

The Team: 

Helen Fospero, TV Presenter and Barnardo's Ambassador

Mark Thompson, TV Astronomer and Barnardo's Ambassador

Lydia Bright, from TV's The Only Way Is Essex and Barnardo's Ambassador

Sam Thompson, from TV's Made in Chelsea

James Dunmore, from TV's Made in Chelsea

Helen Tiffany, Philantropist and long term Barnardo's supporter

Freddie Bright, Lydia Bright's brother

Steve Montgomery, Film maker 

Britt O'Sullivan, Barnardo's supporter

Over the course of eight days, our interpid team will face all that Borneo - the third-largest island in the world - has to offer. From trekking through the lowland rainforest, to scaling sacred mountains, our challengers will learn a range of skills to equip them for jungle life. They will cook their own food and camp in the wild, immersing themselves in Sabah culture and taking on challenges as they go - and ir's all to raise funds to support our vital work of transforming the lives of the UK's most vulnerable children.
