Bear Grylls, ScreengrabE!

Running Wild star Bear Grylls' wedding proposal to wife Shara was pretty ... wild, to say the least. For starters, they were naked. And let's hope she used a LOT of soap on that ring.

The 40-year-old British reality star and adventurer recalled the happy day in a recent interview with fellow U.K. TV personality Piers Morgan on his show Piers Morgan's Life Stories. He said the popped the question to his partner while they were skinny-dipping.

"I pulled out the ring from my butt cheeks," The Daily Mail quoted Grylls as saying. "She was standing there going, 'What are you doing?' She was in a towel and a massive Atlantic roller came and I went, 'Will you' and it ... took me up the beach."

"I had all the seaweed and I was spinning around, so I tried it again and, and in this sort of moment of heavy sedation, she said, 'Yes,'" he said.

Grylls and Shara wed in 2000 and have three sons.

On the show, Grylls, also known for his other popular shows Man vs. Wild and Get Out Alive, also talked about how he loves to do many things naked, including playing the piano and diving off cliffs. He recalled how during a vacation on his private island in North Wales, he sent a nude selfie to British TV presenter Dermot O'Leary by accident.

"I do this every morning, to be honest," he told Morgan about his naked diving.

The photo in question, which shows him naked, upside down and airborne, was displayed, as seen in a (NSFW!) video posted on ITV's official YouTube page.

"The thing is with this photograph, I looked at it on iPhone and when he texted, he said, 'Where are you?' and it looked fine," he said, adding that he only realized later after seeing the image close up that part of his crotch was visible.

"It was an incredibly cold winter's day!" he joked.
