Carly Stratton
Age: 19
Job: student
From: Manchester
Status: single
She says: "I wanted to challenge myself and prove that I can put myself in any situation and come out the other side, hopefully a better person. I wanted to meet new people and let’s be honest, who wouldn’t want to wake up to this beautiful place every morning."
Faith Oyegun
Age: 19
Job: student
From: Oxfordshire
Status: Single
She says: "Shipwrecked is the ultimate gap year experience. The perfect opportunity to escape from the monotony and routine of life. I’m competitive and up for the challenge. And of course…I needed the tan."

Age: 21
Job: Bureaux de change sales consultant
From: Liverpool
Status:Single
She says: "I’m always being told that I can do so much with my life and that I am the type of person that can go far in life so I put myself up for the challenge. I want to have done something in my life that I can class as a huge achievement."
Keris Hopkins
Age: 26
Job: Welfare Officer
From: South Wales
Status: In a relationship
She says: "I hate day to day routine and thought this was an amazing way of spicing things up. I mean why wouldn’t you want to live on an island 24/7 with a bunch of randoms?"
Lara Goodison
Age: 18
Job: Student
From: Surrey
Status: Single
She says: "I applied as a joke with some mates as I thought I’d never actually get on. I wanted to take part in something that would challenge me mentally any physically, but most importantly I wanted to meet a bunch of new people and make the most of being young and free to do what I want."
Char Counsell
Age: 23
Job: Farmer
From: Somerset
Status:
She says: "Who wouldn’t want to do this! Living on a desert island for 3 months didn’t sound too bad… if only I knew what I was letting myself in for hey!!! I really want to show people that girls can be hard core and that you can wear make up and skirts while chopping down a tree!"
Katie Bloomer
Age: 19
Job: Mortgage Advisor
From: Newcastle
Status: Single
She says: "Being shipwrecked is a daunting prospect but I'm more scared of getting stuck in a rut and not living my life to the full." Sadly the home-sickness got too much for original islander Katie, and she bode farewell to her fellow Shipwreckers after just two days on the island.
Lauren Humphrey
Age: 20
Job: Fine Art Student
From: Kent
Status: In a relationship
She says: "I want to learn a lot more about myself and what I want from my life. To appreciate how privileged my life has been and learn to listen to other people and learn from them."
Vicky Boast
Age: 24
Job: Graduate
From: Nottingham
Status: Single
She says: "I’ve always been a fan of the show and always thought that it looks amazing fun. I love adventure, adore meeting new people and thrive on a challenge so Shipwrecked seemed the ideal thing to just go for. I never thought in a million years I’d get on!"
Diva Mauthoor
Age: 19
Job: Student
From: Essex
Status: Single
She says: "I had just finished my first year at Chester uni, got a bit bored and decided to do this. My friends forced me to apply in the first place as they thought I’d be good and my family were more excited than me!"
Sarah Henderson
Age: 19
Job: Student
From: London
Status: Single
She says: "It has always been my dream to live such a simple life with wonderful people, in complete paradise. It will be good to be forced to give up all the superficial things that don’t really mean that much."
