Speaking about The Summit on Monday's episode of The One Show, Ben said: 'It was great at the bottom! The sun was shining, and everyone was so full of hope and joy.
'£200,000, I split the money between them, and they got the cash out, and I gave them all about £14,000 that they put in their bags, and suddenly they're holding the winnings.'
Ben spoke about his new programme during Monday's episode of The One Show
'If they can get to the top, they will share whatever money gets there. Everyone was so excited when we started, but it didn't take very long for it to fall apart, though.'
He added: 'In fact, I wasn't allowed to announce I was hosting it and leaving This Morning to go over there until we knew they were on the plane flying to New Zealand.
'We didn't want them to know who the host was because they might be able to Google it and work it out, because it's been made in Australia previously.
'They knew that they were going to New Zealand and face an adventure show of some sort, but they had zero idea, just the epic scale they'd have to face.'

The Summit launches tonight at 9pm on ITV.
