Adventure TV icon Bear Grylls touches down in Perth ahead of his sold-out live show

Survival expert Bear Grylls looked like he was packed for a new adventure on Wednesday as he arrived in Perth ahead of his live show.

The world-renowned TV host and author was all smiles as he met fans outside of Perth Airport, as he prepared for his sold-out show, Bear Grylls: Never Give Up.

The 50-year-old was sporting a back pack, long pants and a jacket as he exited the airport on a sweltering summer day.

He was met by excited fans, one of whom handed him a box of chocolates, before happily signing autographs.

His live show at the Perth Convention Centre on Thursday night promises to captivate audiences with his stories of adventure and survival.

He is set to take the audience behind the scenes of his dangerous career and his long recovery from a near-fatal parachuting accident that left him with a broken back.

The show will feature never-before-seen photographs and behind the scenes videos that illustrate his gruelling determination.

The Perth show will be the first on his Australian tour before he heads to Sydney and Brisbane.
