Reality television personality Dani Dyer-Bowen is among the confirmed contestants for the new series of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins. The 29-year-old, who previously won Love Island and recently withdrew from this year’s Strictly Come Dancing, will undertake gruelling SAS training in North Africa.
The Channel 4 reality show is scheduled to return to screens in January next year. Dyer-Bowen, who is married to England and West Ham United star Jarrod Bowen, said: “I’m a massive fan of the show. I’ve always watched it and wondered if I could do it. I want to put myself to the test.”
She will be joined by former Love Island contestant Gabby Allen, TV personality Jessika Power, social media stars Jack Joseph and Cole Anderson-James, Neighbours actors Ryan Moloney and Natalie Bassingthwaighte, and World Cup-winning former rugby player Ben Cohen. The line-up is completed by Gladiator and Olympian Toby Olubi, international cricketers Graeme Swann and Brad Hodge, Olympic swimmers Emily Seebohm and Mack Horton, and Home And Away actor and musician Axle Whitehead.
In the eight-part series, which will pit Team Australia against Team UK, chief instructor Billy Billingham and his team of directing staff, Jason “Foxy” Fox, Rudy Reyes and Chris Oliver return to lead the celebrities in their training. Billingham said: “A challenge like no other, this series isn’t just a brutal personal course, their national pride is on the line.”
Unlike other reality shows, contestants are not eliminated on Celebrity SAS, and are instead culled by the directing staff or able to withdraw themselves, with those who remain at the end declared the winners. The show will launch in January with a release date yet to be announced.
