Of joining Mission Survive Healey admitted: "It will all freak me out!"
However, Healey's hoping youth will be on her side: "I think because of my age, I do stuff without realising quite how dangerous it is. I give everything a go without a second thought. So I think that mind set will help me a lot."
She does admit to struggling with one of Grylls' well-known tasks though - drinking urine: "I was ok with [eating a] worm. The urine I could not handle that. Not a chance would I be able to swallow it."
