The BBC has announced the host for the reboot of a hit reality show 21 years after the last UK version aired. The much-anticipated return of TV show Survivor will be hosted by Joel Dommett, the broadcaster has confirmed.
Survivor has been produced in countries across the world and last appeared on UK screens in 2001 and 2002 when it aired on ITV for two seasons, with the first being hosted by Mark Austin and the second Mark Nicholas.
The new 16-episode series will see players marooned in a remote location competing to "outwit, outplay and outlast their rivals" in order to be crowned the ultimate survivor, the BBC previously said. The contestants will be deprived of everyday basic comforts and will form their own tribal societies, competing head-to-head in a range of physical and psychological challenges for reward or immunity.
