It was brilliant doing the challenges as part of a team."I was in the Wolf team and my Raven name was Lemec. I have enjoyed watching the series in the past but to take part was incredible. The challenges were very hard but also fun."The first programme will be aired at 4pm on Monday, March 2, on CBBC, and the series runs until March 27.
