The latest season of Celebrity Treasure Island is set to be a spectacle of drama, grit, and chaos, and the first teaser trailer has fans buzzing with anticipation. The show, set against the stunning backdrop of Northland, New Zealand, features a fresh group of Kiwi personalities competing in a series of challenges to win a cash prize for their chosen charities. Among the biggest names are broadcasting legends Simon Barnett and Polly Gillespie, rugby greats Portia Woodman-Wickliffe and Frank Bunce, and social media stars Harrison Keefe, Nix Adams, and Louis Davis. The cast also includes a collection of actors, such as Vinnie Bennett and Te Ao o Hinepehinga, as well as Shortland Street stars Ria Vandervis and Ben Barrington. TVNZ sports reporter Zion Dayal is swapping the newsroom for nature, while singer/songwriter Georgia Lines sets down her microphone and guitar for a shot at treasure island success. The show is hosted by Jayden Daniels and Bree Tomasel, who have reunited to front what looks to be one of the most dramatic seasons yet. The preview video introduces the two teams, Kahu and Takapu, setting up an early clash in both attitude and approach. The challenges look as tough as ever, with contestants paddling through choppy water, competing in beachfront endurance challenges, and even hanging suspended in mid-air. There's no shortage of surprises, with Daniels hinting at a twist: 'There are two more celebs waiting in the wings.' The upcoming season promises to be emotional, with clips showing various castaways tearful and embracing one another. The show starts on April 27 and airs 7.30pm Monday to Wednesday on TVNZ2 and TVNZ+.
