Survivor UK 2023 host
Fans of The Masked Singer will be over the moon to hear that none other than comedian Joel Dommett is the host of the show!
Speaking with the BBC ahead of the show's release, Dommett said being trusted to host Survivor UK is "a huge compliment".
He said: "I'm aware of how much of a huge format it is around the world, it's probably one of the biggest. I think it's really great, and hopefully long may it last, it feels like it's a really good time for it. I feel like there's a lot of shows that happened over the last 20 years that led us to this point and I feel like people are going to welcome it with open arms.
"Anyone who knows the Survivor format already will know they're in for an absolute treat, and if you don't then I'm confident you’re going to love it."

How does Survivor work?
The premise of Survivor is fairly simple: castmates will be marooned in an isolated location and have to fend for themselves, while also taking part in tasks to earn themselves immunity from elimination or rewards.
The contestants are progressively eliminated from the game as they are voted off the island by their fellow castaways - and whoever is the last person standing will take home the huge cash prize!
“They’ll form their own tribal societies, catch their own food, build their own shelter and compete against each other in epic challenges for reward or immunity,” said the BBC. “Those who win immunity are safe from being voted out of the game at the iconic Tribal Council.
“At each Tribal Council, each tribe must vote out one of their own, until the Sole Survivor emerges and wins a life-changing £100,000.”
