Who is Callum Pardoe?

Callum Pardoe is a 21-year-old student and lifeguard from South Wales.

He says his unique selling point is that he's 'a bit different' from all of the other lads because he's not 'big and muscly or tattooed'.

Callum describes himself as very competitive and says that he applied for the show because he loves a good challenge.

When he was a little boy the local newspaper described him as 'the next David Beckham'.

What has Callum Pardoe said about Survival Of The Fittest?

Callum has got his fingers crossed for swimming challenges because, as a trained lifeguard, he reckons he'll totally nail them.

He hasn't, however, got his fingers crossed for challenges that might involve bugs and says he'll be a total screamer if he comes face to face with any creepy crawlies.

He's super social and can't wait for the opportunity to meet a load of new people.

But mainly he's looking for a brunette with a 'good set of teeth'.

What is Survival of The Fittest about?

Survival Of The Fittest sees a group of hot young singles sent to the South African Savannah to take part in the ultimate battle of the sexes, involving mental and physical challenges.

But the strength of the ladies and gents is not the only thing being tested.

Throughout the series, the contestants have the opportunity to romance the opposite sex - but only at the expense of their team's chances in the competition.

Will they choose dates over mates, and find themselves in bed with the enemy? You can count on it...

As with Love Island, viewers are able to vote off the contestants that don't tickle their fancy.

They are also responsible for choosing which of the sexes comes out on top.
