SHIPWRECKED returns to E4 next week after seven years off air and The Sun can exclusively reveal the nine contestants battling it out for £50,000 prize money.
It's the Tigers versus the Sharks as the popular format is back but with a few surprise twists awaiting the hopefuls.

They won't have to worry about fashioning shelters out of bamboo shoots as the camp is already built with a shower, kitchen and toilet replacing the frightful long drop.
Strictly's Vick Hope, 29, is the voice of the reboot replacing former narrator Craig Kelly.
The show will go out every weeknight from January 28 for three weeks at a later slot of 9pm – allowing for more rude language and bust-ups.
The Mouthy One
10
Name: Liv
Age: 19
From: Manchester
Occupation: Model
About me: “I’m quite family orientated and the only place I’d been on my own was Magaluf and I was crying everyday for my mum. I’ve done a bit of modelling here and there. Nothing major. Just a few photo shoots. I am a hot head. I’m quite fiery. I think for anyone growing up on a council estate it’s going to be quite different to someone who has parents with quite a bit of money.”
THE INFLUENCER
10
Name: Hollie
Age: 24
From: Kent
Occupation: Social Media Influencer
About me: “I’ve met Justin Bieber. I’ve been out with him. It was a couple of years ago now. I met him, he was really sweet. I didn’t want to fan girl. I’ve packed 30 bikinis and I’ll be wearing them all. I’ll be the one throwing parties on the island. Hosting them and making sure everybody gets drunk.”
THE MODEL
10
Name: Harry
Age: 26
From: London
Occupation: Model
About me: “I’ve been approached for Love Island, Celebs Go Dating and The Bachelor. I spoke to them but realistically I’m not about airing my dirty laundry. Chances are you’re probably going to have a fling but I’m not about having a bird. I’ll wind a few people up and I get bored quite easily. I’ll probably go sharking. I’ll probably miss the Premier League most for starters and then music.”
THE SINGER
10
Name: Kush
Age: 26
From: London
Occupation: Fitness Recruiter
About me: “I was in a band from 17 to 21 and I was managed by Geri Halliwell and Simon Fuller. It was the best time of my life. Going to Geri’s house every single day and rehearsing in her garage. I’d like to hope she will support me on the show. She is a bag fun. I’m quite OCD when it comes to cleanliness. I like to cleanse my face, moisturise, sit there and be in clean bedding.”
THE ARSENAL MODEL
10
Name: Kalia
Age: 20
From: Dunstable, Bedfordshire
Occupation: Full time model and part time working in a Chinese takeaway
About me: “Definitely I’m up for a romance. If I meet the right person and we have a connection. What I want from this is to represent Chinese people on telly. There’s not enough. I’ve been a model for Arsenal Football Club and I did the ASOS World Cup kits too which was really cool. I’ve applied for ITV’s Survival of the Fittest and I got through to the medicals but heard nothing back. I’m dreading being without social media.”
THE MUSIC MAN
10
Name: Chris
Age: 24
From: London
Occupation: CEO of a music festival
About me: “It’s been a long year. My mum passed away four months ago and I was her primary carer so I was trying to do that and since she died I’ve been straight into organising my music festival. I signed up for this show to help get away from everything. I’ve been approached for shows like First Dates before but they weren’t for me. I’d be up for romance, it’s been a while since I was in a relationship. My dad would give me a slap if I had sex on telly.”
THE FEMINIST
10
Name: Emma
Age: 21
From: Uppingham
Occupation: Student
About me: “I definitely don’t get on with chauvinistic men. Everyone should be a feminist. I think everyone is a feminist, it’s just the world they don’t like. When it comes to love I don’t really mind who I go for. I’m more interested in people as individuals. If I fancy you, I fancy you. I wouldn’t have sex on camera, there’s no need. I wouldn’t strip off either, we’re literally going to be in bikinis the whole time so let’s leave something to the imagination.”
THE CHELSEA GIRL
10
Name: Big T
Age: 26
From: Sloane Square
Occupation: Part-time wig maker
About me: “I’m adopted and originally from Malawi. I want to put Malawi on the map, someone else has to do it apart from Madonna. My mum doesn’t know I’m going on the show and my dad thinks it’s hilarious. I was wild at boarding school. I was smoking, sneaking out, drinking and sneaking boys in. I did it all. Sex on the school premises. I had sex right outside my school chapel and the worst thing is I think some parents saw.”
THE ACTION MAN
10
Name: Tom
Age: 20
From: Devon
Occupation: Student
About me: “I’ve been striving since I was four-years-old to get into the army, that’s my main goal. Nearly every male on both sides of my family has been in the armed forces. I love survival tasks and I think I could be quite good around camp. I’m a very honest person, in a good way and a bad way. I don’t sugar coat things. I’m honest and upfront. Old school, I’d say.”
