The PR Executive for one of the UK’s biggest ski holiday companies, Inghams, has joined the cast of Channel 4's new reality TV show, Alone. London based Elise Wortley has joined ten other contestants on TV's most extreme and uncompromising survival experiment. Alone is being promoted as the ultimate test of endurance and ingenuity, in one of the most beautiful but challenging landscapers on earth. The six-part series sees eleven people dropped into the remote Northern Canadian wilderness, where each must survive entirely alone. Each person must fend for themselves and survive for as long as possible, equipped with only a handful of basic tools, whilst filming their own adventure. Once dropped at her individual location, with no camera crew, producers, or experts to help, Elise was left to battle the elements, loneliness and starvation, under the constant threat of predators including bears and wolves. Elise will face the ultimate trial of skill, mental strength and resilience in one of the most inhospitable locations on earth - and she must do it alone. The rules are simple but uncompromising: the last person standing wins £100,000. Elise's story will unfold as her time in the wilderness reveals her truest self. The series is intended to not just be a bare-knuckle survival challenge, but to also give an insight into the human spirit against all the odds. Elise has previously hit the headlines with her unique take on adventure, following in the footsteps of history's forgotten female adventurers, using only the equipment available to them at the time. "I took part in Alone as I couldn't say no to the opportunity to be fully immersed in one of Earth's last great wildernesses. I've experienced first-hand the benefits of nature on mental health, and I wanted the chance to leave modern life behind and live purely off the land - the most sustainable way to live,” said Elise, adding, “I also wanted to show that all women have a place in the male-dominated outdoor and adventure world. I went into this challenge with no bushcraft or survival experience, I had never used an axe, made a fire without matches, built a shelter or gone fishing. This experience taught me about resilience, self-belief, patience, courage and, of course, myself, who I got to spend an awful lot of time with." Her ongoing project Woman with Altitude highlights these women who defied societal norms and who were often overlooked compared to their male counterparts, while challenging the traditional narrative of adventurers being fearless and male. Although her Woman with Altitude adventures have given Elise confidence and a taste of living without modern necessities, Elise went into Alone with no bushcraft or survival experience. Alone airs at 9pm on Sundays on Channel 4
