BEN Fogle has revealed the fate of his hugely popular Channel 5 series after 17 seasons.
The TV presenter and adventurer has been at the helm of the show since it launched in 2013.
And in an update to fans, Ben, 50, revealed the show will return for its 18th series.
Taking to Instagram, he told his followers: “New Lives in the Wild……..coming soon.”
Ben didn’t reveal where he actually was, but he could be seen filming from a remote, desert-like location.
Delighted fans flooded the dad-of-two with comments, as one wrote: “Love this program, gives us all the opportunity to dream.”
A second said: “I really like your wild programmes and I am very excited to see you again.”
“Best programme ever,” said a third.
It comes after Ben revealed how he had a ‘secret breakdown’ last year causing him to burn out.
In an emotional update to fans, he explained: “A year ago I suffered a mental health wobble.
“An episode. A storm. A blip.”
“I don’t know if there is a specific term for it but it was basically a burnt out, break down.
“I’ve been on quite a journey since I’ve learnt a lot about my neurological uniquenesses. And I’ve navigated the storm.”
