The 18 contestants taking part in the new series of Survivor UK on BBC have been revealed.
The new UK series is set to be hosted by Joel Dommett and will see contestants "marooned in a tropical location where they are divided into two tribes, competing against each other in a range of physical and mental challenges" in an attempt to be crowned the Sole Survivor.
One by one, players are voted out at the iconic Tribal Council until only one remains, winning the cash prize of £100,000.
Survivor UK returns to television screens for the first time in more than 20 years after first airing with ITV back in 2001/02.
