Vick Hope is "chuffed" to be voicing the new series of ‘Shipwrecked’.
The 29-year-old radio presenter can’t wait to lend her vocal talents to E4’s reboot of the reality TV series, which is returning to TV screens after a seven-year break.
The ‘Capital Breakfast Show’ host is quoted by The Sun’s Bizarre TV column as saying: "I’m chuffed to be voicing the all new series of ‘Shipwrecked’.
"There are some amazing characters, epic bombshells and lovely waves of nostalgia ahead."
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 £100,000.
In total, the show ran for eight series with the last season running on E4 in 2012.
Past contestants include TV presenters Jeff Brazier and Sarah-Jane Crawford, as well as ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ winner Stephen Bear.
Inspired by the success of ITV’s ‘Love Island’, Channel 4 is now planning to bring ‘Shipwrecked’ back to screens in 2019.
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."
Filming will take place on the South Pacific’s Cook Islands where campmates are split into two tribes to battle it out for a £50,000 prize.
