Emily Atack cosies up to Mel B and Ruby Wax before going off to get 'eaten by a bear'

Emily Atack cosied up to Mel B and Ruby Wax for a cabin selfie in Colorado on Tuesday as she voiced her fears they will soon be eaten by a bear.

The actress, 32, has teamed up with 46-year-old Spice Girl Mel and 68-year-old American comedian Ruby to make a new travel show for the BBC.

The series, titled Trailblazers, will see the three women tracking across the Rocky Mountains in Colorado – where the highest peak of the range, Mount Elbert, is situated.

While all the fun of the adventure will be captured on camera for the BBC Two series, Emily joked they could be at risk of becoming food for the local wildlife.

In between snaps of herself posing with her co-stars, Emily took a selfie while wearing a bright orange jacket, a cream coloured hat, and holding a Starbucks cup up in the air.

She captioned the moment: “Off to be eaten by a bear”.

Emily also gave fans a tour of the cabin she would be spending her first night of her trip in – sharing footage showing vintage decor and rustic period pieces.

She captioned her Instagram Stories video: “My cabin for the night. I’m terrified but I kind of love it.”

News of Emily, Mel and Ruby’s show emerged earlier this year, with Emily sharing a selfie at the time and writing: "The secret’s out! I am BEYOND EXCTED to announce new travelogue series ‘Trailblazers’ coming soon to BBC2.

"Next month, I’m going to be travelling the Rocky Mountains with the icons that are Mel B and Ruby Wax, retracing the steps of Isabella Bird. One of the worlds first female explorers in the 19th century.

"Ruby thinks I’m gonna run off with a cowboy. Honestly the most mental caption I’ve ever written."

The three ladies will be utilising the 1873 book, A Lady's Life In The Rocky Mountains, by Isabella Bird as the inspiration for their travel show.

The trip are expected to explore the people, places and customs of a fast-changing America while also championing the forgotten pioneer Isabella.

Isabella herself was a broths explorer who lived from 1831 until 1094 and travelled over 800 miles across the Rocky Mountains in 1873.

During her trip she wrote about her relationship with a one-eyed outlaw named Jim Nugent – describing him as: "A man any woman might love but no sane woman would marry.”

Following her adventures in America, Isabella travelled across Japan, China, Korea, Vietnam, Singapore and Malaya – and then in 1886 she travelled to India to work as a missionary.

In 1890, she became the first woman to be awarded Honorary Fellowship of the Royal Scottish Geographical Society – a charity that was founded to advance the subject of geography in schools around the world.

She died in October 1904 after falling ill following a trip to Morocco and was buried in Edinburgh.
