Applications open for the BBC's reboot of Survivor UK, with filming expected to take place in spring 2023.

Applications have officially opened for the BBC's reboot of Survivor UK.

The iconic reality show - a physical and psychological competition - has been a huge hit in the US for more than 20 years, but a previous attempt at a UK version by ITV was axed after just two series.

Now, two decades on, the BBC is rebooting the format with a new series for primetime BBC One in 2023 filmed in the Dominican Republic - and the call for contestants has now gone out.

Would-be participants can apply to take part online before the deadline of February 23, 2023.

The application also confirms that the prize fund for the winner will be £100,000 - significantly less than the £1m given to the winners of the ITV original.

The closing date for contestants suggests that the show will be recorded in the spring and early summer, with a broadcast likely in the autumn - potentially alongside Strictly Come Dancing on Sundays.
