From Jungle Survivor to Survival CEO – The Story of Naked & Afraid winner Steve Kelly

In this gripping episode, we catch up with Steve Kelly, the Liverpool-born adventurer who captured hearts (and raised eyebrows) as a winner on Naked and Afraid. Stripped of everything but his grit, Steve survived the unforgiving wild—but what’s life like after the cameras stop rolling? Now the proud founder of South West Survival, Steve’s turning his brutal experience into a booming business. We dive into how he went from dodging snakes and starvation to teaching survival skills across the UK, inspiring a new generation to reconnect with nature. Expect wild stories, no-BS advice, and a deeper look at how raw human resilience can evolve into something even greater. Whether you're a survival show junkie or just love a good underdog story, this one's for you.
