“Survivor Greece” — the European country’s version of the hit competition show — has been put on an indefinite pause after a contestant was apparently hit by a tourist boat during filming.<\/p>\n

According to the Toronto Sun<\/a> … authorities say 21-year-old Stavros Floros was spearfishing for the show off the coast of Saona Island in the Dominican Republic when he was struck by the propellers of a tourist boat.<\/p>\n

The Sun reports the accident resulted in a significant injury to Floros’ right ankle — and a partial amputation of the left leg.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

AcunMedya — the show’s production company — confirmed the injury to the Canada-based outlet … adding it plans on “investigating the causes of the incident in order to fully determine the circumstances.\u201d<\/p>\n

A statement — written in Greek<\/a> — was posted to the show’s official Facebook account … and notes that, while Floros is now out of immediate danger, an air transfer to a U.S. center is still being considered.<\/p>\n

The broadcaster — SKAI Television — which carries “Survivor Greece” reportedly won’t air the show until further notice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“Survivor Greece” — the European country’s version of the hit competition show — has been put on an…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":675741,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[64,63,447,134],"class_list":["post-675740","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/675740","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=675740"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/675740\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/675741"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=675740"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=675740"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=675740"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
