Shipwrecked reboot axed after one series

The reboot of ‘Shipwrecked’ has been axed after just one series.
The E4 reality TV series returned to screens after a seven-year break in January, with new narrator Vick Hope, but the broadcaster has decided to cancel the show next year as they have a number of other programmes taking priority.
A spokesman for E4 told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre TV column: "’Shipwrecked’ brought a much-appreciated splash of winter sunshine to E4 this year.
"However, with a host of new E4 shows arriving in 2020, ­’Shipwrecked’ will not be on screen next year."
The show – which was initially narrated by Andrew Lincoln, and then former ‘Coronation Street’ actor Craig Kelly in later series – saw contestants aged between 18 and 24 cast away on a tropical island and left to build their own version of paradise.
‘Shipwrecked’ was one of the earliest reality TV series, launching the same year as the UK version of ‘Big Brother’ back in 2000.
It ran for three series until 2001, before returning in 2006 as ‘Shipwrecked: Battle Of The Islands’, which saw the contestants divided into two groups to compete for a cash prize of up to ÂŁ100,000.
In total, the original show ran for eight series with the last season running on E4 in 2012.
Past contestants included TV presenters Jeff Brazier and Sarah-Jane Crawford, as well as ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ winner Stephen Bear.
The reboot was inspired by ITV2’s ‘Love Island’.
A source previously said: "Lots of people have fond memories of watching ‘Shipwrecked’ in their youth and dreaming about joining the fun in paradise.
"Now Channel 4 have decided to give millennials the same experience, after ‘Love Island’ proved sun-kissed hunks and beauties frolicking in a tropical setting can result in huge ratings."
The series saw contestants flown out to the South Pacific’s Cook Islands where campmates were split into two tribes to battle it out for a ÂŁ50,000 prize.
