Dutchman Wim, nicknamed the Iceman, endeavours to get eight celebs accustomed to the cold in a series of shiver-inducing challenges.
The eight stars, which co-host Lee Mack jokes are ‘victims’, include Strictly’s Dianne Buswell, rapper Professor Green and singer Alfie Boe.
Holly looks concerned in the trailer as EastEnders star and close pal Tamzin Outhwaite shakes violently after going bare feet in the ice.
The split second clip seems to show her welling up as the tough tasks take their toll.
TV presenter Laura Jackson commented that she couldn’t wait to watch in a post on Holly’s Instagram .
Holly replied: “me toooooo! ❤️.”
In the trailer, Holly says: “No red carpets, no enjoying the view, no hot tubs, no hot showers, no feeling in their toes, hands or bums, no escaping, no safety nets, no going back, no idea what they’ve signed up for.”
Speaking on The One Show recently, Holly said: “This is not something they get voted off or a popularity contest, they are really challenging their minds and bodies.
“All I can tell you is it was intense for everybody, medics were involved, and I was in tears at many many points throughout it.
“It was kind of life changing, it is amazing, it’s one of the best things I’ve ever done.”
She added the show pushed the celebs to their limits, adding: “Lots of them turned up and said, ‘I hate the cold.’
“But yeah I’m very proud of that lot. They jump into a frozen lake, it’s near freezing, that is their entry point. The first thing they have to do.
“When you hit that cold water it literally takes your breath away. So it’s that thing of using your mind to control your fear, it’s not normal to jump into a freezing lake.”
The group live together in a tented village in sub-zero temperatures, surrounded by spectacular, icy scenery of Northern Italy.
Under his encouragement, the celebrities will reap the rewards of cold-water therapy and face a unique test of mental strength like no other.
Freeze the Fear with Wim Hof airs Tuesday 12th April, 9pm on BBC One.
