Five more faces competing on this year's season of Celebrity Treasure Island have been revealed.

From a radio host to an Olympian to a rugby legend, they'll join the rest of the contestants on the beach to battle it out for $100,000 for their charity of choice.

First up is Black Ferns icon Melodie Robinson. Currently the general manager of sports and events at TVNZ, Robinson says she's going on the show to get out of her comfort zone and raise awareness for women's sport. Her charity of choice is Rugby Foundation, which supports injured rugby players. She's a team player and wants a woman to take out the title - it doesn't have to be her, she says.

Dylan Schmidt was the first Kiwi athlete to compete in trampolining at the Olympic Games, winning a bronze medal in last year's Tokyo Games. As a professional athlete, Schmidt could be one to beat - and with his dad's cowboy hat packed in his suitcase, he's determined to look the part on the island. He's playing to support the Special Olympics because "sport is for everyone".
