Mike, a 49 year old contestant on Channel 4’s Alone, the most extreme show to date, was forced to drop out within hours due to an axe injury. The show follows 11 brave contestants dropped off in the Canadian wilderness with no food, water, shelter, or company. The last one standing takes home £100,000.
Mike had joined the show hoping it would 'open doors' and start a new chapter. He had previously been a heroin-addict, but had turned his life around. However, his hopes were dashed after just four hours. While building his shelter, he accidentally sliced his leg with an axe, leaving him with no other option but to quit.
Mike expressed his dismay to the camera, saying, ‘I can’t f***ing believe it. I’ve f***ing nailed myself. F***ing hell man, it’s bleeding now. F***ing hit the side of my leg with an axe and I know it needs stitches. Absolutely gutted.’
The recuse team found Mike still devastated, lamenting, ‘Absolutely devastated. I’ve worked with tools all my life. This was going to be the start of something different, and it’s all collapsed. Didn’t even get a chance.’
The remaining contestants were also in for a surprise, as they soon realized they were in the company of huge predators, with one immediately being confronted by a bear. Others heard wolves and saw a moose, as well as the risk of bumping into the odd cougar. One contestant was left trembling while a bear prowled around their camp at night.
Alone is available to stream on All 4. So, if you’re looking for a show that will make you jump out of your seat, this is the one for you!
