- Feel the Fear
"Feel the Fear" is a television programme for 7 to 12 year-olds broadcast on
CITV in theUnited Kingdom . The show centres around the two presenters,Holly Willoughby andSteve Wilson , setting each other challenges to test their nerve. It uses common phobias, such as the fear of heights and the dark, as the basis.Show Format
The shows are broadcast alternately: one week Holly will set Steve a fear to face and the next week Steve will present a challenge to Holly. The 'boys v girls' idea is a sub-theme of the programme. Whoever is facing their fear completes three challenges over two days, two on day one and another on day two. These increase in difficulty as they progress, and the final challenge really determines whether the fear has been overcome or not.
Other Features
During the challenges a phobia expert,
Anjula Mutanda , monitors the heartbeat of the contestant in order to find out whether they are 'feeling the fear'. There is also a 'body burst' section, in which Anjula explains, with the aid of an animated sequence, the science behind the fears and the body's reactions to these.Episode list
