Nowadays everybody's fave sunny reality TV show may be Love Island with all the metallic bikinis, neon shorts and fire pit chat but before Love Island there was Shipwrecked and honestly? 'Messy' Mitch Taylor wouldn't stand a chance against the terrors of shipwrecked living.
Stranded castaways were dumped on a tropical island and were forced to work together, in hopes of winning a grand prize. However like the rest of British reality TV, there was drama, betrayal and some majorly controversial moments that would never air today.
Shipwrecked originally ran until 2009 on Channel 4 and was the perfect hangover viewing, it then moved over to E4 but ran its course in 2019.
Many of the contestants have now gone on to bigger and better things, Married at First Sight, Celebs Go Dating, even TOWIE.
But can you remember them all?
Check out: Shipwrecked cast - where are they now?
