Netflix’s latest star-studded reality show, Celebrity Bear Hunt, is now available for streaming with a host of celebrities facing one of the most daunting challenges of their careers – being pursued by survival expert Bear Grylls in the Costa Rican Jungle.
The series, hosted by Holly Willoughby, includes an array of tasks that the celebrities must complete before becoming Grylls’ prey. Fans can also expect to gain insights into the personal lives of the stars as they share living quarters.
The cast boasts big names such as Spice Girls legend Mel B, TV personality Shirley Ballas, and model Lottie Moss.
Among them is Irish singer Una Healy, who shot to fame in 2008 as part of girl band The Saturdays.
Una, 43, was previously married to rugby player Ben Foden, with whom she shares two children.

Their relationship reportedly began thanks to Ben’s agent, but ended after six years following allegations of Ben’s infidelity.
These rumours surfaced while Una was pregnant with their second child, around the time the couple were planning to relocate to the US after Ben signed for Rugby United New York, .
Ben confessed his infidelity but also told The Guardian: “At the moment anything that’s published about me is never very good and pretty rightly so, because I was the one who committed adultery. But at the same time, it wasn’t the only reason for our divorce to go through.”
Later, Una opened up on the Taboo Talk podcast about their swift decision to divorce following Ben’s admission: “We needed to split up and to divorce because we couldn’t stay together. [But] you always see the couples and the families and everything and you just feel so lonely cause like that’s not you anymore.”

She added: “When we decided together (to divorce), very quickly you know after he admitted he did what he did, we actually were both delighted with the decision because it had been rumbling for a while.”
After her divorce, Una left with her children Aoife and Tadhg, escaping the shame she felt from the public eye, confessing: “I felt embarrassed in the town that I was in, that’s why I moved. I felt embarrassed that when I went to the shop, that everybody was looking at me going, ‘Oh there she is’.” She eventually returned to her native Tipperary during the pandemic.
Ben Foden has since settled in the US and is now working in real estate. He’s moved on from his past with Una Healy; he remarried in 2019 to a woman named Jackie, and the pair have since added to their family unit.
Despite oceans between them, Ben and Una continue to share parenting duties for their kids Aoife and Tadgh.
In an exclusive chat with OK! Ben revealed: “We’ve been co-parenting for the last five years and I think we’re pretty good at it now. Me having another baby won’t change anything and I appreciate how much she takes the reins with Aoife and Tadgh. For us, it’s all about communication and I think she also appreciates the reprieve we give her when the kids visit for a few weeks during the summer and at Christmas.”
Meanwhile, Una Healy’s romantic life has remained in gossip columns post-divorce. She candidly shared her ventures into elite dating via Raya, which sparked speculations of her fling with ex-boxer David Haye – although she shut down rumours she was involved in a so-called ‘throuple’ with him and a model.
Her connection with former Limerick hurler David Breen lasted roughly a year till their parting in 2020, and whispers of her romance with ex-Love Island participant Stephen Mullan fizzled out by 2022.
The singer and presenter recently stepped out publicly with ex-jockey Aidan Coleman, only for reports by Irish Mirror to confirm their involvement has since ended.
