Three Scots are among the contestants announced to take part in upcoming BBC reality series Survivor.The three, who hail from Glasgow, the Isle of Mull and Dalkeith, will compete to outwit, outplay and outlast 15 other rivals, who are all trying to be crowned the sole Survivor.Hosted by comedian Joel Dommett, the new series sees 18 people from across the UK marooned in a tropical location, as they are divided into two tribes and await a range of challenges testing their physical and mental abilities.Flood risk consultant Doug, 32, from the Isle of Mull, said he thought his height would come in handy for the show and added: “I was hopeful I could put my height, I’m 6ft 4in, to good use and help my tribe get to those hard-to-reach places, get the shelter up, and hopefully be a useful asset for the challenges.”Personal trainer Rach, 23, from Glasgow, said her body was fatigued when she went on the show as she had been dieting for 15 weeks to prepare for a photoshoot.And Richard, 36, from Dalkeith, who is a pension manager and RAF reservist, said he is “always looking for a new challenge”.Competitors will be voted out of their tribes at the tribal council until the two teams eventually merge and competitors face each other head to head before the sole Survivor wins a cash prize of £100,000.Also among the line-up is a professional boxer, a model, a surf school owner and a footballer.Survivor will air on BBC One and iPlayer with transmission dates confirmed soon.
