Bear Grylls has topped the list of television's top adventurers.
The 40-year-old former SAS officer, who won the poll conducted by Radio Times earning more than 4,000 votes, and beat Ben Fogle, 40, who came second, followed by Ray Mears, 50, who ranked third, the Daily Star reported.

Meanwhile, late Steve Irwin, 44, who was tragically killed by a stingray while filming a documentary in 2006, came 4th.
