The brand new series from the makers of Love Island and I'm A Celebrity called Survival of the Fittest, is due to start this weekend, and ahead of the exciting launch the host Laura Whitmore has given viewers a sneak peak at the show's luxury lodge.
The show has been dubbed winter Love Island, and includes a luxury lodge where the contestants will spend their time. Speaking live from the African savannah on This Morning, Laura showed Phillip Schofield, Holly Willoughby and the viewers at home, what the new show will look like.
As she was touring the beautiful location she revealed she would be there for a whole month! However, she admitted that five minutes before filming it started to rain, but it had now stopped now.
During the sneak peak she also showed off the purpose-built bridge which she and evicted contestants will be using during the show.
As the interview came to an end Laura told viewers there was a zebra behind the camera, but unfortunately they couldn't turn the camera around. Luckily however she managed to snap a photo and later tweeted a pic of the special guest saying, 'here’s me mate who was too shy to come on camera!'.
There are six men and six women starting the show and whilst many are unknown the line-up does including the ex-boyfriend of Made In Chelsea star Georgia Toffolo and actor Danny Dyer's daughter.
There's also a business development manager from Bristol who says the appeal of the TV show is that it is in South Africa, so she "can get a nice tan", and a vlogger who says she never gets upset, unless there isn't any food!
Men in the line-up include a model, a sports media manager and a former competitive swimmer who describes himself as "quirky and different".
See the full line-up below:
Lottie James - 22
Lottie is Dani Dyer's replacement, and is a 22-year-old farmer and waitress from Wales. Speaking before heading into the show, she said: "I am so honest so my honesty will be good. I think my flirtatious side will come out so that might make the boys' games a little weaker."
