Channel 4's gruelling reality contest Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins is set for a dramatic return to television screens in January 2025, with a brand-new series filmed in the harsh terrain of North Africa.
UK vs Australia: A Trans-Tasman Showdown
The upcoming eight-part series will feature a unique format, pitting a team of British celebrities against a team of their Australian counterparts. Leading the punishing training regime will be the show's formidable chief instructor, Billy Billingham, and his team of directing staff, all former special forces operatives.
Among the high-profile UK contestants confirmed to be testing their mental and physical limits is Dani Dyer-Bowen. The reality television personality, best known for winning the popular dating show Love Island, will be pushing herself far beyond her comfort zone.
A Diverse Line-Up of Celebrities
The cast list for the new series boasts a wide range of well-known faces from the worlds of sport, television, and entertainment. Joining Dyer-Bowen from the reality TV sphere is former Love Island contestant Gabby Allen.
The sporting world is represented by Rugby World Cup winner Ben Cohen and former England cricketer Graeme Swann. The line-up is rounded out by actors from iconic Australian soaps Neighbours and Home and Away, adding an international flavour to the UK team's challenge.
No Public Vote: A Different Kind of Reality
This series maintains the show's distinctive and brutal approach to competition. Unlike many other reality programmes, there is no public vote to eliminate contestants. Instead, participants are culled at the discretion of the directing staff based on their performance and attitude, or they can choose to withdraw themselves from the process.
Only those who withstand the immense physical demands, psychological pressure, and relentless scrutiny from the instructors will make it to the very end. All remaining recruits are then declared winners, having proven they possess the extraordinary resilience the course demands.
The new series promises to deliver the same intense, raw, and emotionally charged television that has become the show's hallmark, as another group of celebrities discover what they are truly made of under extreme duress.
