BISEXUAL Survival Of The Fittest teammate Ryan Cleary believes he has a winning advantage in the competition as he’s already planning to romance both male and female contestants.

The former jeweller, 27, is up for having sex during his time on the show after saying he will “take his pick” from the line-up.

Speaking in South Africa where the show is filmed he said: "Obviously there's going to be hot girls and hot guys on the show so it is everything that I would enjoy.

“Gender isn't really an issue. I've been with men and women. I have an advantage, I'm just going to take my pick."

Ryan admits that he’s more used to having casual flings than long-term relationships but the last time he committed to someone was when he was romantically involved with a man.

He added: “I've had more one night stands than relationships.

“I would have sex on the show with the right person and if it was the right timing.

“If someone's attractive, then why not? We're all adults. It is my life to live and I'm here to have a good time. If I have sex, then I have sex.”

Host Laura Whitmore has already urged contestants to follow in the footsteps of their ITV2 counterparts Love Island by having sex on the show.

In an exclusive interview with The Sun’s Bizarre column she said: “I definitely want to see people go all the way. People have needs.

“If they like each other enough and care about each other then why not?

“They’re going to be living together in a different country, they will form bonds and they’re all single.

“These shows do create romances that last.”
