Before Love Island, before Big Brother, before Bear Grylls, there was Shipwrecked and if you're wondering how the heck we are using those three shows as a comparison then allow us to explain.

The reality TV show, which first aired in 2000, featured two rival teams; the Sharks and the Tigers had their very own islands and had to convince newcomers to pick their island to live on.

Each week guys and gals would rock up and spend some time with both the Sharks and the Tigers before deciding which island they wanted to call home. During their time on Shipwrecked, the islanders clashed CONSTANTLY; from people stealing rations and debating who would be nominated for cleaning duties to who was in charge of building the shelter and which 'Tiger' and 'Shark' would catch fish for dinner.

At the end of the show, the winning team was the group with the most members, with them going on to be rewarded with a big pile of cash.

But what's happened to the OG drama queens and lovable contestants from the original series of Shipwrecked, which aired in between 1999-2003 and 2009-2011?
