Quiz: Are you a reality TV survivor?
Did Tony Blackburn's victory in I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here leave you singing the DJ's praises? Or has the whole reality TV genre left you cold, aching to get away from it all on a remote island - like Castaway?

With Popstars making its return to ITV, and Fame Academy coming soon to the BBC, viewers won't be able to escape from the reality genre. Try our quiz to see if you're a real addict. Each "right" answer puts you closer to reality TV king Tony's throne - each "wrong" one leaves you washed up like Uri Geller.
