Comedian Joel Dommett will host the BBC's new show, Survivor
A Cumbria hospitality worker is among the contestants announced to take part in upcoming BBC reality series Survivor. Matthew, 21, is the youngest contestant on the show and he said he thought the challenge would be a good way to spend his summer.
“Competing at a semi-pro level has given me a taste for competition and the drive to succeed. I brought that same spirit to Survivor, ready to battle it out in every challenge." Other contestants in the show include Ashleigh, 34, from London, who said her training had been impacted by coeliac disease. The brand strategist said: “I actually had a gluten flare-up three weeks before the show started which massively impacted my training.
Elsewhere, Jess, 38, a model from London, said the experience of living on a beach was her “literal worst nightmare”, adding “I was so out of my comfort zone, but I did it". Another contestant, entrepreneur Laurence, 29, who was born in Vienna, Austria and raised in Costa Rica, said that he convinced a “terrifying Austrian Schwarzenegger-lookalike” to be his coach before the show and said he “nailed it by brutalising me daily with cruel and unusual forms of exercise”.
Fitness instructor and operations manager Nathan, 35, originally from London and living in Manchester, said he used “daily positive affirmations” to get him through the game. Meanwhile the oldest contestant, surf school owner Pegleg, 54, from St Agnes, Cornwall, said he brought an attitude with him where he was “just getting on with it and not whining and moaning about the hardship of it all”.
