TV adventurer Bear Grylls, star of the survival show Man vs. Wild, has been sacked by the Discovery Channel.

The US channel said "due to a continuing contractual dispute with Bear Grylls, Discovery has terminated all current productions with him."

Grylls, who has presented the show since 2006, is known for eating insects and drinking animal urine in the wild.

His publicist confirmed the move saying they could not reach a "mutual agreement on new programming".

1. Lol won't miss him

I like Les Stroud much more and he had good advice that could be used by 'regular' folks in survival situations in the wild, too bad he isn't making Survivor Man anymore but the reruns are good

..Les, on the other hand, is the MAN....
