Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins may make I’m a Celebrity look like a holiday, but that hasn’t stopped the Channel 4 show securing some big names for its upcoming series.
The full-line up for the gruelling challenge programme has been unveiled and it’s one of their best yet, with signings including reality stars Ferne McCann, Pete Wicks and Amber Gill.
Other names who will be travelling to the Middle East for a new look version of the show are Ashley Cain, EastEnders actress Maisie Smith and brothers AJ and Curtis Pritchard.
We meet the line-up who will take on the brutal challenges thrown at them by the strict DS…
FERNE MCCANN
The former The Only Way is Essex star, 31, already proved she’s up for a challenge when she took part in 2015’s I’m a Celebrity.
So it makes perfect sense that show bosses were keen to sign up the gutsy mum-of-one to see if she’ll do as well under the immense pressure.
PETE WICKS
TOWIE star Pete will be in good company as he joins his fellow reality stars to show there’s much more to them than meets the eye.
The 31-year-old has previously starred on shows like Celebs Go Dating and a celebrity version of The Circle.
AMBER GILL
Love Island champ Amber is hoping she has what it takes to go the distance in the show after being propelled to fame on the popular ITV2 reality show.
The 24-year-old fronts her own fitness brand called Flexx and so will surely be used to workout challenges.
MAISIE SMITH
Since bowing out of Albert Square, EastEnders actress and Strictly star Maisie is clearly up for a new challenge.
SAS: Who Dares Wins marks the 20-year-old’s first TV gig since leaving the soap she has starred in since she was a child.
CALUM BEST
Calum, 40, is no stranger to reality shows, having starred on shows like Celebrity Big Brother and MTV’s Ex on the Beach.
But will TV viewers see a brand new side to Manchester United star George Best’s son when he’s under the watchful eye of the DS?
AJ AND CURTIS PRITCHARD
Dancer brothers – Strictly star AJ and Love Island’s Curtis – will have one another to lean on as they take on the brutal course.
And they’ve also had form for working together in the past, taking on another challenge show Hunted.
ASHLEY CAIN
After a heartbreaking year in which he lost his baby daughter Azaylia to a rare form of cancer, Ashley has signed up to the C4 series.
The ex-Coventry City player turned reality star Ashley, who is 31, has also founded a charity in his late daughter’s memory.
JENNIFER ELLISON
The former Brookside actress has been absent from our screens lately, so fans will be thrilled to see her back where she belongs.
But how will the 38-year-old get on as she takes on the toughest show on the box?
DWAIN CHAMBERS
His sporting talent is undeniable as one of Europe’s fastest sprinters.
But only time will tell if the 43-year-old can be slow and steady and finish and win this race.
FATIMA WHITBREAD
It’s not Fatima’s first time on reality TV, having created many TV gold moments on the 2011 series of I’m a Celeb.
Now viewers will get to see the 60-year-old Olympic javelin medalist in action once more.
JADE JONES
Jade, 28, became a household name when she won Olympic gold in taekwondo at the 2012 and then the 2016 Olympics.
So she’ll no doubt be hoping to bag another victory as she steps up to being an SAS recruit.
JONATHAN BROOM EDWARDS
Another sporting hero joining the line-up is 33-year-old paralympic athlete Jonathan.
Sports fans have previously seen the high-jumper, who was born with club foot, take home gold at the Tokyo 2020 Games.
SHANNON COURTENAY
The 28-year-old pro boxer is unrivalled in the ring, but viewers will have to wait and see if her skills transfer to the course.
Shannon, who is nicknamed The Baby Face Assassin, previously held the WBA female bantamweight title.
