Age: 28From: Belfast (originally Limerick)Occupation: Professional BoxerI thought it was a great opportunity to test myself and let the world see me for who I really am. Survivor shows people at their most vulnerable selves and I was excited for the Irish and British public to see me as my true authentic self.

Age: 45From: HertfordOccupation: Barista and cleaner at a yoga studioA friend saw the application and said I should apply, I was at a crossroads in my life and looking for a new direction so it came along at the perfect time. Tongue in cheek humour, general immaturity and ignorant bliss mixed with lots of love, cuddles and unity. I practice yoga and I go to the gym. I did struggle mentally to leave my son so I just had to take it day by day.

Age: 36From: Dalkeith, ScotlandOccupation: Pensions Manager / RAF ReservistI am always looking for a new challenge and this gave me the opportunity to challenge myself physically and mentally. Great communication, good team player and empathy. I am generally a resilient person so life set me up mentally. I continued to walk the Scottish Munro's, run, gym and swim. I wanted to try to be in the middle of the pack and look for opportunities that I could use to my advantage.

Age: 54From: St AgnesOccupation: Surf School OwnerLife experience as a 54yr old; a Gen X attitude for just getting on with it and not whining and moaning about the hardship of it all. I built a couple of challenges in the garden and doubled my normal training schedule. Mentally I knew I had what it takes as a lifetime of overcoming preconceived ideas of disability has prepared me well.

Age: 32From: Isle of MullOccupation: Flood Risk ConsultantWhen I was younger I vividly remember watching the original UK Survivor back in 2002. As a family we loved the show, even going as far as re-enacting some of the original challenges. When I saw that it was returning to TV in the UK I wasted no time in putting my application in.

Age: 21From: CumbriaOccupation: HospitalityI wanted to be a contestant on Survivor because I knew this was the ultimate challenge! An amazing chance to really get stuck in and see what I’m made of. I turned 21 a few months ago and I couldn’t think of a better way to spend my summer, I’m so thankful for the opportunity. I really wanted to push myself to the limits and I genuinely mean that – this is a dream.

Age: 40From: WhitstableOccupation: Insurance Claims HandlerI have always been an adventurous, strong, outdoorsy, sporty person who loves a challenge and my mum knew I had wanted to take part in a show like this for years so when she saw an advert for contestants online she tagged me in it. My motivation was that I wanted my children to know that not having a dad around does not mean that one parent isn’t enough and to show them that anything can be achieved if you put your mind to it.

Age: 35From: Manchester (originally London)Occupation: Fitness Instructor & Operations ManagerI very much believe in the concept of Kaizen (a Japanese term for continuous improvement) and I try to apply this concept to every part of my life. When I reflect on when I’ve grown the most, it has always been on the back of significantly challenging times, adversity, or hardship. So, when the opportunity to be a part of one of the most challenging experiences someone can face, I needed no convincing.
