Survivor winner in Kilimanjaro challenge

By Jon

The winner of this year's Survivor TV show is off to climb Kilimanjaro in September.

CID detective Jonny Gibb, who won a million quid, is going to attempt the mountain with fellow contestant ex-marine John Dalzell and some of his friends, also ex-marines.

Gibb has taken a two-year break from his job as a detective, while he considers his options. Beats blowing thousands of quid on some luidicrious car, we reckon.
