Survival of the Fittest is a British reality TV series that premiered on ITV2 on 11 February 2018. The programme comes from the same production company that is behind Love Island.[1]

The series pits the girls and boys against each-other as a "Battle of the Sexes". They compete in various mental and physical challenges. The show is presented by Laura Whitmore,[2] and is narrated by Brennan Reece.

The series is filmed in South Africa with contestants living in a luxurious lodge. The series finished on 2 March 2018 with the girls being crowned the winners of Survival Of The Fittest. Mettisse was voted the fittest girl of the girls team and chose to split her £40,000 cash prize with her team, so each girl received £10,000.

Billed as a sister-show to Love Island; the series was cancelled after one season due to low ratings.[3]
