THE SUMMIT: FIRST LOOK TRAILER AND CONTESTANTS REVEALED FOR NEW ITV REALITY COMPETITION SERIES HOSTED BY BEN SHEPHERD

Hosted by Ben Shephard, this epic new adventure reality series sees brave contestants embark on a thrilling journey to reach the peak of one of New Zealand’s most spectacular mountains whilst carrying the cash prize they hope to win.

Fourteen strangers from all walks of life come together to face the daunting challenge of climbing a mountain in the breathtaking, rugged Alps of New Zealand’s south island. The adrenaline-filled series sees them face the ultimate test of strategy and resilience as they compete for a share of a potential £200,000 prize.

With 14 days to reach the summit, and an equal share of the prize fund in their backpacks, the contestants have to navigate treacherous terrain, wild conditions and overcome extraordinary challenges - set by the mysterious Mountain’s Keeper - that block their path to the peak.

But it isn’t just a test of physical strength; strategy plays a crucial role, as the cast will also have to eliminate their competitors along the way. Who will forge alliances? Who will betray? And ultimately who will have what it takes to conquer the mountain and claim the prize?

Taking part are Afton, 24 from London; Charlett, 38 from Wiltshire; Jenny, 46 from Peterborough; Dockers, 36 from Hull; Tara, 31 from Manchester; Tyra, 24 from London; Warrem 52 from London; Patrick, 24 from Milton Keynes; Miranda, 50 from Northampton; Colleen, 48 from Port Talbort; Drew, 32 from London; Thomas, 29 from Winchester; Sean, 25 from Liverpool and Joe, 35 from Loughborough.

The Summit is coming soon to ITV1 and ITVX this February.
