British adventurer Bear Grylls may be in hot water.
The famous survivalist is facing a possible fine for killing and boiling a frog in Bulgaria in 2017, reports said Friday.
Grylls was filming an episode of his Running Wild series with "Dancing With the Stars" dancer Derek Hough, when the pair was seen killing, gutting and cooking the frog on a camping stove, Agence France-Presse reported. The incident occurred at Rila National Park, a protected area in south-western Bulgaria, the report said.
