Hosted by comedian Joel Dommett, the new series sees 18 people from the UK marooned in a tropical location
A Belfast pro-boxer and semi-professional footballer are among the contestants announced to take part in upcoming BBC reality series Survivor.
Lee, 28, who is based in Belfast and originally from Limerick, Ireland, said that strength he has gained through boxing helped him to compete in the different challenges. 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.” She said: “I thought it was just about living right on the beach and competing in physical challenges, so I had no game plan whatsoever.”
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”.
