Castaway: Kenneth Rose

Castaway returns seven years on



Kenneth - castaway


Name: Kenneth

Age: 64

From: Essex

Occupation: Photographer

Relationship status: Married

Star sign: Virgo

Motto: "Get on with it!"

Why Castaway: "Without doubt, this would be a life-changing exercise and, at my age, it may be the last chance to do something outrageous."

Kenneth sees himself as a natural leader, which is not surprising considering he spent 22 years as a colour sergeant in the Royal Marines. Over the years, he has relaxed into civilian life but he's still a military man at heart. "I admire people of both sexes who can sort it out, get on with it and come back with the result."

After leaving the Army, Kenneth pursued his interest in photography, first becoming involved in the glamour industry before moving on to weddings. He also works as a freelance driving instructor.

His service in the Marines has stood him in good stead, equipping him with a can-do attitude. He is skilled at DIY and carpentry, can build shelters, kill animals, fish for food, navigate with a compass and administer first aid.

With his laidback attitude, Kenneth admits that he doesn't get angry easily but is aware that he can sometimes comes across as aggressive without even realising it. At 64, he says he has achieved most of his life's ambitions but still lives by the attitude that life is for living and is keen to tackle new challenges.

Kenneth admits that he will find it hard to live without the love and support of his family but, with his military experience and straightforward, no- nonsense attitude, he is determined to succeed at life on the island.

"We have nothing to fear but fear itself. The power of the dark side is fear," he says.

Did you know? Kenneth has been awarded a BEM by Her Majesty The Queen.
