Adventurer and Discovery Channel regular Bear Grylls has made a good living out of spending some time in some of the world’s most inhospitable places. Some have queried just how ‘tough’ the situations he places himself in are but we’re not going to argue with a man who drinks his own piss.

Anyway, just in case you were in any doubt that bad stuff really can happen on location, check out this picture that Grylls just tweeted of his producer’s leg while they were shooting the new series of Man v Wild.

He claims it is the result of a snake bite and we don’t even want to know what sort of snake would do that sort of damage.
