An Aberdeen oil worker is to battle the elements on a remote Pacific island for six weeks as part of a new survival reality show with Bear Grylls.
Daniel Campion, 29, a project engineer who works on North Sea rigs, is among 14 men who will compete in The Island.
Daniel says he hopes to use his beer brewing skills to make moonshine for his fellow castaways.
The cast
The six-week series – which starts on Channel 4 tomorrow night – sets the men against a team of 14 women on a neighbouring island and challenges them to carry out a number of demanding survival tasks, including building a shelter during frequent tropical downpours.
The group of men will be stranded on one remote island while a group of women will be castaway on another.
They will be tasked with finding enough food and shelter to survive the six weeks.
Bear Grylls said: “This is the ultimate challenge into what modern man and modern woman are really made of when they are stripped of all the everyday modern conviences we have grown so accustomed to.”
