Who Dares Wins despite only the opening episode airing so far.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">S Club 7 singer Hannah Spearritt and former TV dancer Louie Spence will no longer take part in the new series of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The Channel 4 military reality show opened with the 14 celebrity recruits hooded and standing on a breakwater before they were asked for their identities by chief instructor Billy Billingham who told many of the celebrities \u201cdon\u2019t grin at me\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">He then led them on two tasks, the first to plunge 26ft into the water and swim to intercept a boat, which picked them up, and the second to rescue three hostages from a building before blowing it up with a grenade.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">2 Celebrity SAS recruits quit in first episode<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Before the second challenge began, Spearritt, 44, handed over her number tag to directing staff, telling them: \u201cI\u2019m done, I\u2019m sorry, I\u2019ve reached a point\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In a pre-recorded interview which was played after her withdrawal, she said: \u201cI don\u2019t think I\u2019ll go on the first day,\u201d adding she \u201cwouldn\u2019t forgive myself\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">During the task, Spence, who is best known for the Sky TV show Pineapple Dance Studios, threw a grenade into the building while it still had two hostages in it\u00a0and afterwards told the directing staff he wanted to withdraw.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">He was given a second chance to put his armband back on but turned it down.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Spence said: \u201cI want to do an immediate withdrawal, I just don\u2019t have the conviction, and I feel as though I\u2019m not dedicated enough.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">He was told that he \u201chadn\u2019t even started\u201d but Spence replied \u201cthat\u2019s what I mean\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">After the first task, former model Rebecca Loos was pulled in by directing staff after she gave up during the swimming challenge.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">She was asked to open up on her alleged affair with footballer Sir David Beckham, who she worked for as a personal assistant, during the interrogation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In an interview before the first task, former Drag Race UK star Bimini Bon Boulash said the show would be \u201ca piece of p***\u201d after growing up as a queer person in Norfolk.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"my-4\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl

also threw a grenade into the building before clearing the hostages, was pulled in by the instructors where he opened up on physical abuse he and his mother received from his late father.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The show sees celebrities enter SAS training where they are not eliminated and are instead culled by the directing staff or able to withdraw themselves, with those who remain at the end declared the winners.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins full lineup<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8
