Who is Shipwrecked's Sean?
Sean Lineker is a 27-year-old account manager from London.
He is one of the late arrivals on the show.
Upon arriving it was revealed he wouldn't be choosing an island to join, instead tribe leaders Harry and Tom would face a duel against each other - with the loser going home and Sean would join the winner's tribe.
Tom won, and Sean joined the Sharks.

Is Sean single?
Sean was single when he arrived on Shipwrecked, revealing that he was gay and looking for love.
It looks like a romance could be on the cards, as Sean and original islander Chris both admitted to liking each other.
In a tease which is shown at the beginning of every episode, Chris can be seen kissing someone in front of a beautiful sunset - and it looks like it is Sean.
Chris has also revealed he DOES have a romance on the island, but would't say who it was.
He told : "I found that (being on the show) you fall so hard, and so quickly.
"People watch Love Island and say, 'how do you fall like that, so quickly' but you're in an environment where feelings do materialise really quickly. And that happens with friendships as well. So there was really strong bonding."

Why didn't Sean tell his dad he was gay?
Sean has revealed that he didn't tell his father he was gay before going on Shipwrecked because he hasn't spoken to him in years.
When asked why he applied for Shipwrecked he said: "To have a life changing experience that you could never pay for. I’m 27 and if I didn’t do something like this now, then I never would.
"Also a part of me wanted my dad who left around 5 to 6 years ago to see who I am today, he doesn’t even know I’m gay!"
