THE creators of popular Channel 4 show The Island with Bear Grylls are on the lookout for Swindonians to apply for the next series.

In previous series, the volunteers were stripped of all the comforts of civilisation, and cast away on a remote deserted island. They filmed themselves, and shared their raw and exhilarating story of survival.

In the last series, earlier this year, Swindon woman Kathryn 'Kaggy' Burn triumphed against the odds to complete the gruelling six weeks and producers of the show hope that the 24-year-old's story inspires others to sign up.

Producers Shine TV say they want to hear from "fit and able people of all ages (18+) each with their unique skillset, from a variety of backgrounds and professions who are confident in their ability to thrive but they do not need any experience in adventure or survival pursuits to participate."

No experience of adventure or survival pursuits is necessary.

The closing date for applications is Monday, August 7.
