Australian Survivor fans were left devastated last night after witnessing viewer-favourite Luke Toki’s shock elimination from the competition.
However, fans of the Perth-based FIFO worker have rallied round. Just hours after the elimination was aired, many took to fundraising platform GoFundMe to raise money for the Survivor star.
And so far, a staggering $200,000 has been raised!
WATCH: Survivor viewers turn on Pia after Luke Toki is voted out
Luke admitted he had a very special reason for signing up to the show for a second time. The father-of-three has two boys who are both on the autism spectrum, while his baby daughter, Madeline, born just six weeks before Survivor started filming, has cystic fibrosis.
In a mass outpouring of support, 31 GoFundMe pages have been set up to raise money for Luke.
Luke made a name for himself on the 2017 season of Australian Survivor, earning himself the title of King of the Jungle.
However, last night’s episode saw Luke fall at the final hurdle after Pia Miranda ruthlessly cast her vote against him.
“I was in two minds,” Luke said of his feelings towards Pia after the vote.
“I was exactly the same as her, I was trying not to put too much pressure on her thinking that she maybe might make the right decision.
“But I think that she said, the way I was talking in tribal, I was speaking quite well that she was… it was just the tipping point to say, well I can’t sit next to this guy who can talk this well.”
