\n\n

With shows such as Survivor<\/a> set to hit our screens over the next few months, we\u2019re always in the market for a new adventure series to watch.<\/span><\/p>\n

And none come more hardcore than Channel 4<\/a>\u2019s latest programme: Alone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The show will see 11 contestants dropped in the north-west Canadian wilderness, where they must completely fend for themselves if they want to be the last person standing \u2013 and take home the whopping \u00a3100,000 prize fund.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Among those competing in the Bear Grylls<\/a>-style series are a clothing designer, builder and NHS project manager.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But who will be joining them? Read on to find out more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Alone cast: Confirmed line-up for Channel 4 reality show<\/b><\/h2>\n

Age<\/strong>: 43<\/span><\/p>\n

Job:<\/strong> Forestry manager<\/span><\/p>\n

Hailing from Birmingham, father of two Alan \u2013 who is autistic \u2013 is a keen forager and finds solace in the outdoors.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe only thing I\u2019m worried about out there is procuring food,\u201d says the forestry manager. \u201cI\u2019m not worried about the mental [aspect] at all \u2013 maybe I should be!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Elise<\/b><\/h2>\n

Age<\/b>: 32<\/span><\/p>\n

Job<\/b>: PR executive\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

PR executive Elise comes from London, and says her fascination with historical female explorers has led her to tackle expeditions that follow in their footsteps.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe competition for me is definitely with myself, because I don\u2019t want to be in competition with the landscape and with nature,\u201d explains the 32-year-old. \u201cI want to be fully immersed in it, and I want to try and thrive and not just survive in it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, it\u2019s all about proving to myself that I can do it. So I\u2019m not going to worry about what anyone else is doing. I\u2019m not even thinking about the end because in my head there is so far to go until I even get there. Deep down, I\u2019d like to think that I do have what it takes to make it to the end.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Eva<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Age<\/b>: 25<\/span><\/p>\n

Job<\/b>: NHS project manager\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

NHS project manager Eva turned 25 during the filming process, and says being outdoors helps her to deal with stressful life situations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI would definitely describe this as the maddest thing I\u2019ve ever done,\u201d admits the \u201cfiercely independent\u201d Leeds native. \u201cFor me, the exciting element is relying only on myself for absolutely everything and seeing how far my own resilience and my own skill set take me. Not being able to have instant contact with friends and families will be one of the biggest challenges mentally.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Javed<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Age<\/b>: 58<\/span><\/p>\n

Job<\/b>: Business coach and mentor\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At 58, Javed is the oldest contestant \u2013 but that doesn\u2019t mean he\u2019s any less competent!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A business coach and mentor from Ripon, he only discovered his passion for outdoor adventure in adulthood, after growing up in a family who rarely had the opportunity to spend time outdoors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI am very happy in my own company a lot of the time, but being alone for an hour is quite different to being alone for weeks,\u201d says Javed, who now uses his love for extreme sports to coach individuals from a variety of backgrounds. \u201cThat\u2019s part of the attraction of this kind of journey and this kind of experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI am curious to see what that\u2019s going to be like. And I am hoping with curiosity to know what day two and day five and day 70 feels like.\u00a0 That will in itself be a real motivator for me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Kian<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Age<\/b>: 19<\/span><\/p>\n

Job<\/b>: War Studies student\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In contrast to Javed, Kian is the youngest person taking part in this series.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A War Studies student and self-confessed survival nerd from London, Kian has a huge passion for the wilderness, constantly reading and researching the subject, in order to become an expert in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI cannot describe how huge and how crazy this challenge is,\u201d he says. \u201cI could go 30 years on this planet and this would be the most interesting and most amazing thing I ever do, and I\u2019m having to grapple with that now at the age of 19. It\u2019s very, very exciting and very, very scary.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Age<\/b>: 40<\/span><\/p>\n

Job<\/b>: Entrepreneur<\/span><\/p>\n

Lincolnshire entrepreneur Laura is no stranger to the outdoors \u2013 in fact, when she reached her 30s, she gave up her lavish lifestyle in favour of a life of adventure\u2026 including rowing the Atlantic!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m desperate to get out and connect with nature, and be away from the noise of digital and other people and to go really, really deep and see what I\u2019m capable of,\u201d she says.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Age<\/b>: 28<\/span><\/p>\n

Job<\/b>: Builder<\/span><\/p>\n

Louie is a 28-year-old builder from Wallasey, whose motivation to complete this challenge comes from a lifelong desire to take on this ultimate test.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think this challenge I\u2019m about to do will test every ounce of grit, determination, intelligence, and common sense. This is the ultimate challenge for anyone, and I just hope I\u2019m ready for it,\u201d he reveals. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, this is 100% a mind game. The physical bits can help me through it, but when push comes to shove, this is a mental challenge \u2013 and I\u2019m really ready to see what I\u2019m actually made of.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Age<\/b>: 49<\/span><\/p>\n

Job<\/b>: Joiner and master craftsman\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Joiner and master craftsman Mike hails from Manchester.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alongside his day job, the 49-year-old is a self-taught bushcraft expert and lover of all adventures involving nature, which he became a fan of having turned his life around following a struggle with drug addiction in the \u201980s.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think the time alone will be a good thing, just to evaluate life \u2013 but I\u2019m just going in with the thought that it\u2019s going to be extremely difficult and painful, and anything other than that is a bonus,\u201d Mike admits. \u201cWhen I think about the challenge, mostly I feel excited \u2013 a little bit nervous, a little bit anxious, but the overall feeling is excitement.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Age<\/b>: 26<\/span><\/p>\n

Job<\/b>: Clothing designer<\/span><\/p>\n

Clothing designer Naomi may now live in London, but she actually grew up in coastal Wales \u2013 where she developed a love for the outdoors and a passion for bushcraft.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Aged 26, she is also a young mum \u2013 and is determined to fill her family\u2019s life with adventure and opportunity.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis challenge in particular is going to be huge for me,\u201d says Naomi. \u201cI am always with people, whether it be friends, partners, family. I\u2019m surrounded by people every day. And so the main challenge for me is going to be the social aspect \u2013 to be completely on my own is not something I\u2019m used to.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt will be really interesting to see how I do, just completely alone. I\u2019m terrified about being on my own, but having that feeling is exactly why I need to be doing it. If I was comfortable with being on my own, I wouldn\u2019t be here \u2013 the fear is what\u2019s pushing me to do it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Pip<\/b><\/h2>\n

Age<\/b>: 47<\/span><\/p>\n

Job<\/b>: Wild swimming coach<\/span><\/p>\n

Now a wild swimming coach, Pip also served for 17 years as an army officer and became the first female army commando \u2013 so she definitely has what it takes to give Alone her best shot!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dedicated to supporting others through outdoor-based activities and experiences, the 47-year-old from Aberdeenshire, Scotland, says: \u201cI\u2019m curious about the environment. I love discovering things, so I go into everything with an open mind. I have a baseline of skills that will sustain me, but I\u2019m keen to explore them and develop them in any way possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe immersive nature of the challenge is going to be something that\u2019s not only super exciting but super scary too and we don\u2019t normally put ourselves in those sorts of situations. We reach a point where we\u2019re comfortable and life moseys along so to actually decide to put yourself into something like this is quite interesting. Hopefully my resilience levels will help me keep going.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Age<\/b>: 39<\/span><\/p>\n

Job<\/b>: Company director<\/span><\/p>\n

A company director from Portsmouth, Tom\u2019s love for exploration and adventure has helped him to overcome confidence issues stemming from difficult experiences at school.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not really in it for the prize money,\u201d admits the 39-year-old. \u201cIt\u2019s proving to myself that I do have the resilience that I think I perhaps do. I\u2019ve a lot to prove to my family.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m most looking forward to really slowing down, and feeling at one and at peace with my environment. It\u2019s a unique opportunity to live simply: not worrying about bills, and organising work. My job will just simply be to shelter, water, fire, food and look after myself, and to live on that real kind of simplistic level is really exciting to me.\u201d\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
