Survivor women vie for £1m prize

Jackie or Charlotte will walk away with £1m

Two women, Charlotte Hobrough and Jackie Carey, will vie for the £1m prize on offer to the winner of ITV's reality TV programme, Survivor.

The pair are the final two contestants on the show after Richard Owens and Mick Easton were seen leaving the island on Monday.

Richard: "I never thought about the £1m"

They lost out when the two women made an alliance to ensure their place in the final.

On Wednesday the two women will find out which of them has won the £1m prize.

A jury made up of those previously voted off the island has already cast its vote for the eventual winner, as the show was recorded months ago - but the results will not be made known until Wednesday in a live TV special.

Sixteen contestants were originally stranded on the island in the South China Sea and week by week contestants have been voted off the island.

ITV was hoping the programme would be a ratings success but poor audience figures forced the broadcaster to reduce the number of episodes to one a week.

Speaking to reporters in London on Monday, Richard and Mick both praised the way the two women had played the game.

Mick said: "Charlotte is a far cleverer person than I first realised and she has played the game exceptionally well."

Richard said he was not bitter despite seeing Jackie break a long-standing alliance the pair had forged.

"In my heart of hearts, at the end of the day, either of them would have been foolhardy to take me through to the final."

He added: "I don't think once throughout the programme I said I was out there for the £1m.

"I desperately, desperately wanted to spend the whole 40 days and nights there."
