Joe Rogan has revealed the Fear Factor stunt which scared him the most as the iconic TV show is set to return to our screens nearly 25 years after it was first aired.

FOX announced the shock return on Monday with the show titled 'Fear Factor: The Next Chapter' set to be a reimagined version of the original.

Fear Factor initially ran from 2001 to 2006 with now UFC commentator Joe Rogan as the show's host.

The reboot announcement read: "Dropped into an unforgiving, remote location, a group of strangers will live together under one roof, and face mind-blowing stunts, harrowing challenges, and a twisted game of social strategy where trust is fleeting — and fear is a weapon."

It is yet to be confirmed whether Rogan will return as the show's host, but speaking on his podcast back in 2018, the voice of the UFC revealed the craziest stunt the original series pulled off.

“The one that scared the s*** out of me the most was bull riding. We had people ride bulls. It was the only time I told contestants: ‘Don't do it,'" Rogan explained.

“I said 'But you don't know how to ride a bull. We're not teaching you how to ride a bull. You're not going through classes. You're not slowly, but surely building up your techniques.

"You're just going to ride a bull. Right. Don't do that," he added.

Rogan then revealed the episode took a turn for the worse when one contestant was thrown from the bull and narrowly avoided a serious injury.

“We had this girl, she was like 98 pounds. She got launched off the back of this bull. And these people went f****** flying like that thing's kicking," the 57-year-old continued.

“Barely misses them when it's kicking. I mean, they're wearing helmets and s***. The fall, the way she felt like that, that is like getting hit in the back of the head with the world.

“She was tough as s***. But I felt and everybody did, in that one we got lucky. I feel like we rolled the dice because if they stomp you, they lacerate livers and crush spleens, and they can stomp you," he admitted.
