The upcoming episodes will see Stephen once again enlist the help of Ant and Dec as he attempts to confront his deep-seated fears and phobias in a series of brand-new global destinations.

While the initial trip to South Korea opened Stephen’s eyes to new cultures and inspired positive lifestyle changes, the presenter admitted that he has recently begun "slipping back into old ways." Despite planning a daring follow-up trip to Japan, Stephen instead found himself retreating to the familiar comforts of an all-inclusive holiday in the Algarve.

Determined not to slip back into old ways, Stephen has turned to Ant and Dec to provide the necessary "loving shove" back into the unknown. The duo has already begun curating a list of locations designed to challenge Stephen’s boundaries and help him navigate unfamiliar territories.

Stay tuned… the next stops on Stephen’s journey promise plenty of surprises.
