What time is the Shipwrecked final on E4 tonight?

Shipwrecked 2019 finale is on E4 TONIGHT (Friday, February 15, 2019) at 9pm.

This will be the 15th instalment of the series and sees the Tigers and Sharks face a final emotional beach party.

And, of course, we will finally find out who the winner of Shipwrecked 2019 will be.

The series was filmed over last summer on two small islands in the lagoon at Aitutaki, one of the Cook Islands in the South Pacific.

The Sun had exclusively revealed back on April 16, 2018, that Channel 4 Bosses earmarked Shipwrecked for a "supercharged" return in 2019 after being inspired by the success of Love Island.

What's the prize?

The tribe that wins the show will get to sail away with £50,000 in their pocket.

Sharing is caring, so they'll be splitting the cash among themselves.

How does Shipwreck work?

The show saw a group of 18 to 24-year-olds shipwrecked on a desert island.

They had to battle it out for survival with basic rations.

The show saw the group of castaways struggle to survive on the tropical island as they competed against each other to win a cash prize.

The revamped show follows the format of the more recent series, with two separate islands, Shark and Tiger, attempting to win over new arrivals with their living facilities, personalities and team necklaces.

The largest tribe at the end will be crowned winners.

Was Andrew Lincoln narrating Shipwrecked?

Strictly star Vick Hope narrated the show this year.

Andrew narrated the show when it started in 2000 through to 2001.

He's since gone on to become a TV megastar thanks to his role on The Walking Dead.

From 2006 the show was voiced by Queer as Folk and Corrie star Craig Kelly.

What is the history behind Shipwrecked?

Shipwrecked was one of the earliest reality shows, launching on Channel 4 way back in 2000.

It ran for three series before going off air in late 2001.

In 2006, it came back with a new “battle of the islands” format where rival tribes competed to recruit newcomers in a bid to be the largest group and take home up to £100,000 in prize money.

In total, Shipwrecked ran for eight series, with a final “back to basics” edition on E4 in 2012.

The show marked the first TV appearances of Jeff Brazier and Sarah-Jane Crawford, as well as Celebrity Big Brother winner Stephen Bear.
