Bear Grylls accidentally flashes his privates as he live streams himself naked on Instagram

BEAR Grylls ended up baring all today as he accidentally live streamed himself completely naked on Instagram.

The 45-year-old managed to flash his manhood as he somehow started recording early while filming himself diving into a lake – wearing nothing but his socks.

The popular action man didn’t seem to notice his gaffe as the live video remained on his account for some time.

Bear is actually no stranger to being naked – he was famously nude when he proposed to his wife Shara and he loves swimming in the buff.

He explained: “I pulled out the ring from my butt cheeks. She was standing there going, ‘What are you doing?’

“She was in a towel and a massive Atlantic roller came and I went, ‘Will you’ and it … took me up the beach.”

“I had all the seaweed and I was spinning around, so I tried it again and, and in this sort of moment of heavy sedation, she said, ‘Yes,'”

And he previously sent a naked picture of himself to fellow TV star Dermot O’Leary  before he went skinny dipping in the sea.

Speaking on Life Stories, he revealed: “We own this little island in north Wales and there’s a great cliff jump into the sea and I do this every morning to be honest when I’m up there and before anyone’s out.

“But the thing is with this photograph, I looked at it on my iPhone and when I texted it looked fine, sent it to him. And actually if you do blow it up, you can just see the end of what I didn’t realise was visible so – yes, that’s the danger of small screens on iPhones.

“Can I say it was an incredibly cold winter’s day a week ago.”

He added: “If there’s a substantial body of water around and nobody’s looking, I’m often quite tempted to strip off and dive in.”
