Simon Reeve reveals his producers 'like to inflict pain and suffering' on him

Explorer Simon Reeve has revealed that his producers like a "little bit of pain and suffering."

In his new documentary series Wilderness With Simon Reeve he travels to the Congo, the Patagonian ice sheets, the Coral Triangle and the Kalahari Desert, to cover the wildlife and the people who live there.

Speaking to GBNews he said: "They want to inflict a small amount of pain and suffering on you, but not so much that it derails the whole filming.

"Have a small illness, but not a fatal one. That would be bad."
