Survivor past winners: All the champs and where they are now
The adventure series is returning to our TV screens this month.
Two tribes will go to war as BBC One revives reality adventure series Survivor, which last aired in the UK 21 years ago.
Eighteen castaways will be deserted on a tropical location in the Dominican Republic and divided into two teams pitted against each other in a range of physical and mental challenges for reward or immunity.
The BBC says that "one by one, players will be voted out of their tribes at the iconic Tribal Council until the two tribes eventually merge and the game becomes a head-to-head battle".
Of course, only one contestant can emerge victorious, winning the cash prize of £100,000 and the title of Sole Survivor.
Survivor originally debuted in the UK on ITV in 2001, and ran for two seasons, hosted by broadcaster Mark Austin and then Mark Nicholas.
In the US, it began on CBS in 2000, presented by Jeff Probst, and has continued for 45 seasons, including various spin-offs such as All Stars and Millennials vs Gen X.
As the show prepares to return our TV screens this month with new host Joel Dommett, we've taken a look back at the previous winners of Survivor UK below.
