It will be quickly followed up the following night on Sunday with a second episode airing at 8pm.

Among some of the contestants are 36 year old Christopher, a singer and songwriter, and fitting model Jess.

They will be joined by fitness instructor Nathan who is more determined than ever to succeed on the programme.

Explaining why he chose to face the survival challenge, he said: "I 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."

He also thoroughly prepared for the game with an intense training programme.
