SALISBURY residents could find themselves stranded on a desert island as a popular reality show seeks new contestants.
Channel 4 is now accepting applications for the next series of The Island with Bear Grylls.
During the show, contestants are stripped of all the comforts of modern life and cast away on a remote desert island, filming themselves with professional cameras to document their story of survival.
The show's host, Bear Grylls said: "This is Lord of the Flies meets Bear Grylls meets Darwin’s survival of the fittest.
"Man has moved further and further from his hunter-gatherer origins. We take food, shelter and warmth for granted; we barely have to expend any time and energy to get them.
"I want to find out what happens when you strip people of all the comforts of modern life."
Men and women over 18 can apply at theislandwithbeargrylls.com before Monday (August 7) to be in with a chance of being on the show.
No experience of adventure or survival pursuits is necessary.
