A total of 14 celebrities took part in a version of a Special Forces selection course, putting them through extreme mental and physical challenges.
But in the end, it was Dani Dyer, Gabby Allen and Emily Seebohm who won Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins 2026.
The female trio were revealed to have passed the gruelling selection process – which pitted British celebrities against stars from Australia – during the finale on the Channel 4 series on Monday.

Love Island stars Dani and Gabby, as well as Australian Olympic swimming gold medallist Emily, all came through interrogation in a dramatic final episode that saw the last two male recruits – ex-England rugby star Ben Cohen and Australian former swimmer Mack Horton – decide to voluntarily withdraw under intense psychological pressure.
Delivering his final verdict, Chief Instructor Billy Billingham said: “Eight days ago you came from both sides of the world. 14 arrived. Three stand before us. Just because you stand on the finish line doesn’t mean you’ve passed this course.”
He continued: “It’s a rare moment to say – congratulations to all three of you. You’ve passed this course.”
Dani explained that passing the course proved to her that she is “a lot stronger” than she thought.

The 29-year-old star commented: “Every single moment was horrendous. But to hear that I’d passed – it’s the best feeling in the world. If I can do this, I can do anything.
“I definitely am a lot stronger than what I think I am…I can’t believe I’ve actually been able to do it. I’m really proud of myself.”
A stunned Gabby, 33, was delighted that the women came out on top.
The TV personality added: “Standing there with two women at the end meant everything to me. My whole brand is about empowering women from every walk of life. Men are strong, but women show time and time again that we can do just as much. We were lifting the same weights, trying just as hard. I wouldn’t have wanted to be there at the end with anyone else. We built a bond you could never replicate.”
She added: “I wanted to leave knowing I’d given absolutely everything that I could, that I’d thrown myself into everything and made myself proud and my dad proud. That’s all that mattered to me.”
Meanwhile, Emily initially suspected that the victorious trio had been picked out for being the weakest recruits.

The 33-year-old swimmer said: “When we were unbagged and it was just the three of us standing there, I thought we’d been picked out as the weak ones.
“I couldn’t have been prouder of the girls. We spent the whole time lifting each other up and reminding ourselves how strong we were.”
They follow in the footsteps of Troy Deeney (former professional footballer), Michaella McCollum (ex-drug mule) and X Factor star Lucy Spraggan who also passed the course in the 2025 series.
