Julianne Hough Drinks Elephant Poop on ‘Running Wild’

On Tuesday’s Running Wild With Bear Grylls, Julianne Hough joined the survivalist in the South African savanna.

Hough moved to England to pursue a dancing career when she was only 10 years old, and she said she’s been adventurous ever since. After watching this episode, it is clear she’s much more adventurous than most.

The former Dancing With the Stars star was hiking with Grylls when they stumbled upon a snake. Grylls suggested they kill the snake for dinner, but Hough refused, saying, “I’d rather starve.”

Unfortunately, starving isn’t an option when traversing the wilderness with Grylls, so Hough soon found herself in front of a meal of police caterpillars boiled in water squeezed from fresh elephant poop. Somehow, the dancer was able to gag down the meal, saying afterwards, “Honestly, the elephant dung, it tastes like elephant dung.”

Running Wild With Bear Grylls airs Mondays at 10 p.m. on NBC.
