What have they said about taking part in Celebrity SAS?: “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. I’m nuts, but I think I will be good at it. I’ll be completely out of my comfort zone. I just hope that I will be able to stop listening to the voices in my head and just get to the end because that would make me so proud. I think physically I’ve got this. Mentally is what I’ll struggle with as my brain attacks me all the bloody time. I just want to believe in myself a little bit more and stop being a negative Nancy.”

What have they said about taking part in Celebrity SAS?: “I think this is probably going be the toughest week of my life. My dad was actually in the military, so he will not be happy if I make excuses or I moan or I don’t try a hundred percent. I didn’t think being in the military was ever an option for me – I am scared of everything – flying, confrontation, large crowds, claustrophobia, bugs, insects, spiders. I’m hoping that I can overcome those fears. I need a big challenge. If I manage to get through this, I think it would help a lot.”

Their ability to train for any scenario, any environment, fascinated me — and the appeal of walking into something where the unknown is part of the experience was impossible to ignore.”
