Now, host Joel Dommett has posted an update revealing that it has gone for good. Former I'm A Celebrity star Joel, 40, said: 'It just shows you how nothing is a given in telly. 'I thought Survivor would be huge. I thought that would be my job for the next 20 years. 'I've done shows and thought that's not coming back and it keeps coming back and then you do something like Survivor, which you think is guaranteed and it doesn't come back.' The format is a huge hit across the world, particularly in the US where it was aired for 25 years. It involves contestants being marooned in a remote location where they compete in challenges to win rations, supplies and rewards, plus immunity from elimination. ITV launched a UK version in 2001, hosted by Mark Austin and then Mark Nicholas, but it folded after just two series. However, the BBC was confident that, more than two decades on, it was worth giving it another go. The latest version, filmed in the Dominican Republic in the summer of 2023 was said to have cost £30million to make.

'After a year of speculation that the BBC's remake was facing the chop, it's now official. 'It's looking like TV's most expensive flop ever.' However, Joel remains one of TV's most popular presenters and will soon be seen hosting next month's National Television Awards on ITV. He is also part of ITV's new show, Celebrity Sabotage. A dedicated website for Survivor holds the message: 'As things stand, we are not processing or taking any further applications at this time.'

Bradley Walsh reveals The Chase 'ban' and says 'I'd be fired'
The Chase host Bradley Walsh has been presenting the ITV gameshow since it first aired in 2009 and appeared on BBC's The One Show ahead of the new series. Bradley Walsh has cautioned he'd be "fired" from The Chase if he implemented any major alterations. The cherished host, 65, has fronted the ITV quiz show since it launched in 2009, and is set to grace our screens again with a fresh series. Nevertheless, Bradley has assured viewers it won't differ from the usual format. Whilst appearing on The One Show tonight (Friday 15 August), Bradley faced questions about his hectic timetable. "You've got The Chase coming up, you've got Beat The Chasers as well, anything different we can expect from these series?" presenter Clara Amfo enquired, reports Bristol Live. Bradley promptly responded: "No they're the same, they're what you see on the tin. "I'm not allowed to do anything different, I think I'd get fired if I did anything different. "You've got to stick to the rules, and stick to the format." He continued: "You can have a laugh in between." This follows Bradley confessing he doesn't object to being perceived as "old and grumpy" whilst discussing his altered attitude towards the projects he accepts given his packed schedule. He revealed: "People say to me 'you never stop working', but here's the thing, and I tell every young performer this, 'if you enjoy the job you do, you will never do a day's work in your life'. "It's as simple as that. I try and have as much time as I possibly can off, but I just love what I do." The Gladiators host went on to tell My Weekly magazine: "As you know, the older you get, the more belligerent you get. I'm 65 now. "Do you know what age and experience brings? Freedom. Because you can say, 'Absolutely not. No, I'm not doing that. I don't want to go there'. "And people will just remark, 'He's just old and grumpy', well, that's fine by me." The Chase is available to watch on ITVX. The One Show airs weekdays from 7pm on BBC One and iPlayer

EastEnders' Colin Salmon gives health update on wife after devastating illness
EastEnders star Colin Salmon, who plays George Knight, has given an update on his wife after she was diagnosed with a rare health condition prior to him joining the BBC soap EastEnders star Colin Salmon has given a health update on his wife following her devastating illness in an interview with Good Morning Britain. Colin's wife, Fiona Hawthorne, whom he's been married to for over 30 years, suffers from a rare condition called interstitial lung disease, which has left her dependent on an oxygen tank. The actor has been open about his wife's illness in the past, and the motivation behind joining EastEnders, revealing that he "can't be far from home" due to Fiona's condition. The artist was diagnosed with interstitial lung disease two years prior to Colin joining the BBC soap in 2023. She was placed on steroids and received chemotherapy for the condition, which makes it difficult for oxygen to enter the bloodstream. Giving fans a positive update on GMB, Colin said: "Well, I think at the time I mentioned my wife was unwell, which has been resolved. My wife is well, she had the surgery, and I bought a house in America on the 1st of July, we're in a completely different place. "Being in Walford, part of the plan for me was, I always see the BBC as the university of broadcasting, so there I can learn and there I may get the opportunity to start to go down that road with really great crews to make sure I get it right." Elsewhere in the interview, the star teased that he has a 'really disturbing' storyline coming up on the BBC soap. George was previously at the centre of a baby farming storyline, after he learned from his parents that they were actually paid to take him rather than adopt him of their own choosing, but he's now explained that something even more dramatic is on the cards. "We've got another storyline you haven't seen before. I did the farming storyline. We have another storyline that is perfect for this time, it's real, it's really disturbing, and it's coming. I can't tell you what it is." It's been a tough time for George and his family recently, after his split from his wife Elaine, who later decided to sell the pub. After their split, George moved in with his brother Kojo. Spoilers for next week reveal that George is set to find Kojo in a bad way when it's revealed he's taken drugs. It comes as it was revealed that Molly Rainford, who plays George's daughter Anna Knight, would be leaving the soap. It's not yet been revealed when or how she will be leaving the soap but could this storyline tie in with her exit? EastEnders airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
