It really changed my mindset.’Now, the eye-opening experience at a ‘man camp’ left the former Strictly star feeling ‘reborn,’ meanwhile pal Ralf found it a little more difficult.Will told The Mirror: ‘I thought I could talk about losing my dad, talk about his memory in a positive way.’But for some reason at that moment, it just all came back, and I realised there’s a lot that I haven’t dealt with, there’s a lot of pain still inside.’I didn’t expect the reaction I had. It shocked me how much I was carrying and how much I’ve been protecting myself and my loved ones from what I’m really feeling. It was an eye-opener.’Elsewhere, the show sees the pair face an array of challenges which will test them, as they explore spirituality, fears around ageing and living nomadically. ‘Going on a journey with Ralf to open our minds and push our limits . . . what could possibly go wrong?’ Will told The Sun earlier this year.

It was an eye-opener’ He admitted: ‘For some reason at that moment, it just all came back, and I realised there’s a lot that I haven’t dealt with, there’s a lot of pain still inside”We’re both in our forties and probably a bit set in our ways, so now is the perfect time to see how we could be doing life better.’Ralf added: ‘This time we get to explore how we should be living in the modern world while educating ourselves, and having a laugh at the same time.’In December last year,  Will revealed that he asked BBC Three bosses to bring back their iconic 90s hit show, Two Pints Of Lager And A Packet Of Crisps, when the channel relaunched.The actor revealed in an exclusive chat with MailOnline that he and other cast members wanted the show to make a comeback.He said it would have been the perfect time to relaunch the show when the channel came back in February 2022.He told MailOnline: ‘I said I would do another one, just to say thank you to the people who supported it because it ran for ten years.’Everyone still talks to me every day in the street about it. Every day, someone will mention it. Their favourite show, growing up and, you know, had a cult following, and it’d be nice to do another series just to see where they are now.’But it’s it’s not only getting the cast back together because I know me and Ralph are up for it. It’s more about the channels now. They just don’t seem to want to. The show sees the pair face an array of challenges which will test them, as they explore spirituality, fears around ageing and living nomadically.

(Pictured L to R: Kathryn Drysdale as Louise Brooks,  Ralf Litte as Jonny Keogh, Sheridan Smith as Janet, Will as Gaz and Natalie Casey as Donna Wilkinson) ‘I mean, we offered it to BBC, and they said no. And I was just like, I was quite surprised because, you know, they brought Gavin And Stacey back for one, and I think Two Pints went a lot longer than that did.’But the BBC Three launched their channel back, and I thought, what a perfect way to bring their channel back with a show that was a flagship of theirs. And they said no and they don’t want to revisit it. So that was the end of that.’So unless we do it and we put it down as and we put it on a streaming system, whether it be like Netflix or Amazon or whatever, if they want to talk to us, I’m sure we’d talk.’But, you know, we have got to have a channel, or we’ve got to have the funds to be able to make it.”People like nostalgia and people need comedy. People need comedy in their life, and people need a bit of nostalgia,’ he added.The show, available on BBC iPlayer, follows the lives of five 20-somethings who live in Runcorn, Cheshire, meeting at a local pub to chat about life. It aired from 2001-2011.
