Secret Amazon: Into the Wild saw the adventurer and her indigenous team embark on a 50-day expedition.
They attempted to cross the virgin Amazon rainforest entirely on foot as they fought for survival.
From venomous snakes to black caimans, the group faced relentless dangers as they took up the huge challenge.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun Online, Lucy, 31, admitted that she wants to do more series of the show.
When asked if there were more expeditions in the pipeline for Channel 4, the star responded: “I think so. That’s all I can say.
“But yeah, definitely. I’m in this for the long run … I feel like this is just the beginning.”
During filming, Lucy admitted that she was fearful for her life “multiple times.”
But she also implied that she was even more fearful for the team that was guiding her.
“Truthfully, I was actually more scared of my team because, you know, there’s four guys with me. And, you know, we can try and be as safe as possible and follow everything.
“But at the end of the day, there’s a lot of luck comes down to it. You might be the best snake spotter or be able to tell what branch is good to stand on what’s not.
“But when you haven’t had much food and you’re tired and your skin is falling apart, then your senses do go down a little bit.
“Your pupils and your eyes are just so like ready for anything. So you sleep.”
Lucy also opened up about a tragic incident that happened just as filming was getting underway.
She shared: “It was mammoth to plan and just a few months in my mentor, Ian Craddock, he suddenly died.

“It was like, well, is it even more foolish to continue on doing this or should we do it in his name?
