The men will rely on Edwardian equipment, food and shelter as part of Endurance: Race To The Pole.

Ben said: “This is a dream project for me.

“Having raced to the pole myself in 2008 wearing modern equipment, now I get to experience the harsh Antarctic wilderness as they did.

“This will give me a better understanding about the heroics and the sacrifices made by these brave men more than a hundred years ago in one of the harshest, most unforgiving places on earth.”

The three-part series will air later this year.
