Back by popular demand, the iconic reality show has been given a new home on BBC One and is hosted by the one and only Joel Dommett.The first episode thrilled fans when it returned to our TV screens last night – Saturday, 28 October. For anyone unaware of the show or its concept, be warned... it's not for the faint-hearted.

BBC Survivor viewers were quick to switch off just minutes into the new series, all voicing the same complaint.The show, hosted by Joel Dommett, made a comeback on BBC1 with 18 contestants from across the UK competing for a £100,000 cash prize. Despite the excitement of the show's return after more than 20 years, many fans were left unimpressed.They took to social media to express their disappointment, with one viewer saying: "I'm bored already #Survivor." Another added: "Good grief. Is this really what the # BBC think the great British public want to watch on a Saturday night?" Someone else commented: "#Survivor on @BBCOne is c***.

Cast your mind back to 2016, when a fresh faced Joel Dommett decided to head into the Australian jungle to compete in the 16th series of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! Arguably, his stint on one of the most watched and beloved ITV shows (where he finished in second place to Gogglebox's Scarlett Moffatt) was his breakthrough moment in terms of accessing a wider audience - but before his trip Down Under, Joel had already been pretty successful. From his early work in Casualty and The Golden Hour to his stand-up hustle that saw him perform gigs all around the world, the 38 year old's latest career highlight is in the form of BBC's revival of Survivor - the iconic reality show that sees a group of contestants become castaway as they try and fend for themselves in an isolated location.

A brand new series of Survivor UK will see 18 contestants face the ultimate physical and psychological challenge, which will test their brains, brawn and betrayal.The players will compete to outwit, outplay and outlast their rivals.The contestants have been carefully selected from across the UK, and are marooned in a tropical location where they are divided into two tribes, competing against each other in a range of physical and mental challenges for reward or immunity. One by one, players are voted out of their tribes at the iconic Tribal Council until the two tribes eventually merge and the game becomes a head-to-head battle.

Joel Dommett is putting 18 brave contestants through the ultimate endurance test on BBC One’s Survivor, as the cast become castaways on a tropical island. However, the presenter is tackling one of life’s biggest challenges himself – parenthood – and it’s changed the way he approaches his telly career. “I feel like I’m ready to take on this next chapter,” says Joel, 38, whose wife Hannah Cooper gave birth to their son Wilde in September.
