Former X Factor contestant Lucy Spraggan has courageously revealed the devastating impact of being raped while filming Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins. The singer-songwriter, now 32, shared her traumatic experience during an emotional appearance on the Channel 4 reality show.
A Harrowing Ordeal
Spraggan recounted how the assault occurred after a night out with fellow contestants during filming in Thailand. "I woke up with no memory of what had happened," she explained, "but I knew something was terribly wrong." Medical examinations later confirmed she had been raped.
The Aftermath
The psychological toll was immense. Spraggan described struggling with PTSD, anxiety and depression in the years following the attack. "It changed everything about me," she admitted. "I lost my confidence, my sense of safety, even my love for music for a while."
Finding Strength Through Survival
Despite the trauma, Spraggan completed the gruelling SAS selection course - a testament to her resilience. "Finishing that course proved to myself I was stronger than what happened to me," she said.
The singer has since become an advocate for sexual assault survivors, using her platform to raise awareness about consent and victim support services.
