Former Rangers star's daughter to be on huge reality TV show
Demi de Boer, daughter of Ronald de Boer, has been confirmed as part of the cast for the upcoming series of Expeditie Robinson – the Dutch version of the global smash-hit series Survivor.
The 29-year-old, who is an influencer with more than 140,000 followers on Instagram, is heading well out of her comfort zone later this month as the show kicks off on August 31, reports the Scottish Sun.
Announcing the news, Demi shared a snap of herself on Monday, August 11.
The caption reads: 'Ahhhh, the word is out! Expeditie Robinson from August 31.'
Expeditie Robinson aired in the UK on ITV for two series between 2001 and 2002 before being revived by the BBC in 2003.
The reboot, however, only lasted for one series before being axed.

Survivor is a huge hit across the globe and has aired in more than 50 countries. The Dutch version has been running for 25 years and is said to regularly pull in more than one million viewers per episode.
The series sees celebrities placed in an isolated location and forced to fend for themselves, finding food and shelter. The Dutch version is filmed in Malaysia.
Demi will be joined by a host of stars, including Olympic sprinter Churandy Martina, who represented the Netherlands at the games in 2008 and 2012.
Her father, Ronald de Boer, was one of Rangers' biggest stars during a successful spell for the Ibrox club.
De Boer joined from Barcelona in 2000 and went on to win all of Scottish football's domestic honours with the Light Blues.
The Dutch attacker's finest campaign as a Gers star came in the 2002/03 season when Alex McLeish's side won the treble.
De Boer scored 20 goals in all competitions – the most prolific of his career – to help his team win it all.
