We showed you earlier this week the horrific picture of the aftermath of the snake bite suffered by one of Bear Grylls’ producers, but thankfully he is on the mend.

Steve Rankin’s foot became an online hit after Bear tweeted the gruesome-looking picture which did not make for pleasant viewing.
The incident occurred while filming in California but thankfully Rankin has been making a steady recovery, and took to Twitter himself to show his progress.
Rankin has said that the snake bit him while he was climbing over a fallen tree while filming for a forthcoming series called ‘Naked and Afraid’ in California. He was looked after by his team for two hours in the wild before a helicopter took him to a hospital in San Jose, California.
While the reality of Bear Grylls’ exploits are sometimes questioned, there can be no querying the validity of this injury.
Good to see Rankin is taking his first steps in the right direction.
