He is a castaway in Celebrity Treasure Island 2022. The show premiered on September 5, 2022, and the winner will receive NZ$100,000 for the charity of their choice. Celebrity Treasure Island is aired on TVNZ 2 and TVNZ+ from Monday to Wednesday at 7:30 pm.
His passion for performing began with pōwhiri on his marae and learning kapa haka in his hometown of Kaikohe is grateful for the career that has seen him act alongside some of New Zealand’s biggest and brightest, such as Temuera Morrison, Rena Owen, and Cliff Curtis. He said, “The highlight of my career has been learning from these greats and listening to their advice. Because I’m from Kaikohe, these are ta-ngata rongonui – the big stars. I’m ta-ngata rongonui too, but I’m a little star!”
Given the dramatic nature of most of his latest roles, Eds is amused to find himself on Celebrity Treasure Island’s “Hard Case” team. “I love a good laugh, but I was like, ‘Oh, really?'” he chuckles.
Eds Eramiha Celebrity Treasure Island 2022
He is a castaway in Celebrity Treasure Island 2022. The winner will receive NZ$100,000 for the charity of their choice. The chance to support the Mental Health Foundation, his charity of choice on CTI, is the main reason Eds was keen to put his survival skills to the test on the TVNZ 2 show – and the actor is not above doing what it takes to bring home the cash for the organization he is so passionate about.
“I know how to switch it on and off,” says Eds, hinting his acting skills might be used to his advantage in the competition.
“Because as an actor I am so open to twists and turns – we’re always getting a lot thrown at us – we’re more adaptable. We can read people, we can analyze really well, it’s just actors’ instinct.”
And while the sight of the hunky Kiwi star in his desert island apparel is bound to attract plenty of admirers, Eds has got his eye on the prize – taking home that cash for his charity! “I’m very focused,” smiles Eds. “But when it comes to romance, I’m more of a ‘if the universe makes it happen, it happens kind of guy.”

Speaking with Now to Love he said he is still recovering from the loss of an irreplaceable figure in his life. He hopes his experiences on Treasure Island will be an inspiration to people struggling with their mental health. He suffered a huge blow when his beloved grandmother Wharepaia Eramiha passed away in 2020.
“She was my mum and dad – she was my rock,” shares Eds. “She raised me from when I was a baby. I didn’t know who my parents were until I was six or seven. “Losing someone so huge in your life, who you looked up to, to have that taken away – I’m still recovering from it all. I want to help people realize that it’s OK, we can get through this. Yes, you should have your time to grieve, but you also eventually have to physically get up and do something. That’s the way to heal yourself and help others who are struggling as well.”
