On-Screen Diversity

Producers try to cast the widest range of age, gender and racial diversity (although minorities are underrepresented among celebrities). Each series has featured at least one minority contestant and the gender split has been almost even. The logistics of the jungle terrain makes it difficult to represent disabled people in this programme.

Employment

About 80 creative and technical staff flown out from UK. The remaining crew of 350 are Australian freelancers employed under terms equal to or better than Australian film and TV union stipulations. ITV Granada is responsible for their wellbeing on location. We are an equal opportunity employer.
