Following news that Survivor will be returning to our screens in 2023, fans of the reality TV show have a chance to sign up for the reboot, with the applications to take part now open.
Anyone over the age of 18 can apply for the show, which previously aired on ITV between 2001 and 2002.
The new series will be made up of 16 hour-long episodes and will see people from all walks of life form their own tribal societies and compete in epic challenges for reward or immunity.
Contestants will have to rely on their instincts and strategy as players are eliminated one-by-one until the Sole Survivor emerges. At the end of the competition, the winner will bag a life-changing £100,000.
