Bear Grylls admits that he once sent a naked selfie to a male celebrity friend during an interview with Piers Morgan tonight (September 19).

During his appearance on Piers Morgan’s Life Stories on ITV, the hunky survivalist recalls sending the revealing picture to his friend, X Factor presenter Dermot O’Leary, without realising quite how explicit it was.

“I think he [O’Leary] texted me going where are you at the moment? And I sent him a picture of me doing a sort of…” says Grylls, before Morgan interrupts and shows him and the audience a picture of the survivalist diving naked off a rock.

Grylls then continues: “We own this little island in north Wales and there’s a great cliff jump into the sea and I do this every morning, to be honest, when I’m up there and before anyone’s out.”

“But the thing is with this photograph,” Grylls continues, “I looked at it on my iPhone and when I texted it looked fine, sent it to him. And actually if you do blow it up, you can just see the end of what I didn’t realise was visible, so… yes, that’s the danger of small screens on iPhones.”

Bear Grylls, of course, is no stranger to being snapped with his clothes off – check out a cheeky picture of his bum here.
