Airing across eight one-hour episodes, the seventh series of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins can be streamed or watched live every Sunday and Monday from 9pm on Channel 4, starting on August 3.
In a world facing uncertain times, fourteen celebrities from the worlds of music, entertainment, and sport are being called upon to participate in the most gruelling phase of Special Forces selection. This squad of fourteen celebrities will step up to that challenge as they learn how to defend their great nation in the latest series of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins. Airing across eight one-hour episodes, this seventh series can be streamed or watched live every Sunday and Monday from 9pm on Channel 4, starting on August 3.
Taking part in this year’s condensed version of the toughest environments faced by Special Forces operatives are: Ex-Footballer and Broadcaster, Adebayo “The Beast” Akinfenwa (43); TV Personalities Louie Spence (55) and Tasha Ghouri (25); The Traitors Winner, Harry Clark (23); Singer and Actress, Hannah Spearritt (43); TV Personality and Yoga Teacher, Rebecca Loos (46); TV Personality and Influencer, Chloe Burrows (28), Drag Artist and DJ, Bimini (31); one of the “Peru Two,” Michaella McCollum (30); Musicians, Lady Leshurr (36) and Lucy Spraggan (32); and Love Islander; Reality TV Star, Adam Collard (28); Ex-Premier League Footballer, Troy Deeney (35) and Professional Boxer, Conor Benn (27).
Speaking ahead of the premiere, Adebayo said, “I’ve asked myself time and time again – am I built for the Special Forces? One of the reasons why I’m doing this is to find out. I would like to think that, put me in most situations, most environments, I’ll be able to put my best foot forward, get out of my comfort zone, hit my responsibilities and do what I need to do! I think that’s what I want to get out of taking part in this course.”
Louie Spence added, “This course, I hope, can help me walk away feeling I’ve actually really achieved something here, that I’ve really pushed myself to the edge of my boundaries and put myself in a position which is beyond something I could have even imagined a year ago. This is a course that is really going to challenge me. This is different to anything I’ve ever been part of before. There’s no fluff, there’s no glitter, there’s no getting myself out of a situation with a quick bit of wit. It’s really refreshing for me to do something like this…and, hopefully, come out a much better person, both physically and mentally.”

Rebecca Loos commented, “I honestly don’t know whether I am mentally strong enough, but one of the reasons I want to do this course is because I want to find out whether I’m able to stick it out mentally. I think it’s going to be really, really tough. This is by far the toughest thing I’ve ever done. But I want to do this course because it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to do an SAS training course. It’s going to be really interesting to see how far I can go and how strong I’m able to keep myself.”
The elite team of ex-Special Forces soldiers – Chief Instructor Billy Billingham and his team of Directing Staff (DS) – Foxy (Jason Fox), Rudy Reyes and Chris Oliver – are taking these famous faces to Wales – the home of the first phase of SAS Selection, where they will be stripped of their home comforts, families, agents and social media. Together, the DS will push the celebrity recruits even further and teach them the key skills to survive. There will be no room for mistakes as these celebrity recruits face the hardest course yet, in the most gruelling stages of SAS selection.
The fourteen famous faces will abandon their glamorous and luxurious lifestyles to immerse themselves in the punishing Special Forces training environment. This year’s course will be physically demanding and psychologically gruelling; all but a few who take part will fail, but who will make it to the end and eventually pass?
There will be no special treatment for any of the celebrities as they confront surprising truths about themselves to discover their true selves. Not everyone will have what it takes to complete this course. The DS don’t care how famous the recruits are, how many social media followers they have or what they have done before this. As soon as they enter the selection process, their celebrity status and luxuries are stripped away.
Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins is a Minnow Films production for Channel 4.
