TV Survival Expert Bear Grylls has been fired by Discovery Channel.

Grylls had been party to a long running contract dispute with the channel over future programming.

They have also cancelled his current series Born Survivor which Grylls has presented for the last 6 years.

The ex-SAS man is well known for eating bugs and rotting meat whilst sleeping in swamps, was unable to survive the axe this time.

No doubt he will probably head over to ITV in the near future, to produce and star new programmes with a huge golden handshake/cuffs deal.
