Survivor UK is finally returning to our screens after a long 20-year hiatus. The reality TV series will be back this weekend in a brand new reboot from BBC.

Survivor sees 18 castaways compete for the chance to be crowned the "Sole Survivor" and take home the grand prize of £100,000. In order to achieve this, the contestants are split into two "tribes".
