In a last ditch attempt to turn their backs on their potentially fatal eating habits, they will spend one month with the Iban tribe, former headhunters, living deep in the harsh and remote jungles of Borneo, South East Asia.
Up until now the Iban have always been on hand to help, but three weeks into their jungle adventure, the teens are coming to terms with the shock of having to survive in the jungle - without them!
Not only must they carry out their daily jobs, but prove themselves by completing a list of tasks including a night-time frog hunt, a forage and a fishing trip – all before the Iban return in two days time.
Never good at teamwork, it doesn’t start well for the teens. But when the Iban return, they are not the only ones in for a surprise.

Which teen will prove his worth and make the Iban proud?
And which teen will prove to Nutritionist Alice Sykes they’ve got what it takes to change their lives for the better. Alice reveals which teen is her “biggest loser” and what effect living as an Iban has had on their bloated British bodies.
