Who is Shipwrecked's Kalia?

Kalia is a 20-year-old from Bedfordshire.

She works as a model and part-time Chinese takeaway staff member.

She couldn't believe it when she found out she had been picked to compete on Shipwrecked.

Kalia describes herself as a stubborn and honest person with dry humour.

She chose to take a snorkel and a football as her luxury items but realised they were pretty useless once she was on the island.

The model aspired to be on TV and says she would especially love it if she got to be on EastEnders.

There's one thing she knows for sure, she wants to be different from other reality TV stars.

When asked who she would like to be stranded with the most and the least, she answered Kanye West and Piers Morgan respectively.

When does Shipwrecked start on E4?

Shipwrecked returned to E4 on Monday, January 28 at 9 pm.

The series will air every weeknight for three weeks.

Capital Radio DJ and Strictly star Vick Hope is the host.

The contestants are split into two rival tribes, the Tigers and the Sharks, and will compete against each other on two remote islands in a bid to win the grand prize of £50,000.
