To strip you back, physically, mentally and emotionally.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cThis course is brutal. Our world is brutal. It will always come down to one question that we will ask ourselves. Would we have that person stood next to us.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Who passed course in Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins 2025?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Singer Lucy Spraggan, former footballer Troy Deeney and reformed drugs mule Michaella McCollum successfully passed the gruelling selection process.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Former X Factor star Spraggan, who is best known for her songs Last Night (Beer Fear), Lighthouse and Tea And Toast spoke during the SAS show about being raped by a hotel worker while filming the singing competition.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">After she passed the course, she said: \u201cI couldn\u2019t believe it, to pass, wow, incredible. I felt so emotional.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cIt was about 9 million times worse than I thought it was going to be, and I thought it was going to be bad. I really did.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cIt\u2019s utterly traumatising but unbelievably rewarding. It\u2019s a once-in-a-lifetime thing because I will never do that again.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Troy Deeney describes Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins as &#8216;cathartic&#8217; process<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Former footballer Deeney said: \u201cWhat an experience. When I saw it was just me, Lucy and Michaella, I thought we were the ones who hadn\u2019t made it. What a relief!<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cUnusual word, but cathartic, that\u2019s how I\u2019d sum it up. Brilliantly mind-boggling.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cI\u2019d recommend it for everyone. But you have to go in curious. Are you curious about who you are? Are you able to go in free and take instructions?<\/p>\n<hr class=\"my-4\"\/>\n<hr class=\"my-4\"\/>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cAt the very start, hoods off, stood on a pier, waves crashing, rain, DS Billy looking at you like he\u2019ll kill you. That\u2019s when you\u2019d quit if you didn\u2019t want to be there. That broke a few early. It didn\u2019t break me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">McCollum, who was caught trying to smuggle 24lb (11kg) of cocaine worth \u00a31.5 million out of Peru with accomplice Melissa Reid in 2013, said: \u201cI couldn\u2019t believe it when they said I\u2019d passed, I just started crying, we all did.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cI really surprised myself. I didn\u2019t expect that. I didn\u2019t have any intentions of making it to that point, so when I did, I was really proud. I was like, yes!<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cAnyone thinking about doing it, 100% do it. Forget about all the horrible and difficult stuff, those type of opportunities don\u2019t come very often in life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cAnd you\u2019ll really get to see a completely different version of yourself, and the real, true you, which we disguise and we compress with everyday life, we forget who we really are, so do it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Other stars who took part in the show were The Traitors winner Harry Clark, who was kicked off the show for &#8216;cheating&#8217;, and former model Rebecca Loos, who voluntarily withdrew.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Other celebrities who quit the series included former Love Island contestants Chloe Burrows and Tasha Ghouri and S Club 7 singer Hannah Spearitt, as well as TV dancer Louie Spence.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"my-4\"\/>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>Recommended reading:<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr class=\"my-4\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Where was Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins filmed?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The 2025 series of\u00a0Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins was filmed in Anglesey, Wales, according to <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cosmopolitan.com\/uk\/entertainment\/a65583111\/where-is-celebrity-sas-who-dares-wins-filmed-in-2025\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Cosmopolitan magazine.;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Cosmopolitan magazine.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It added that Channel 4 said this year&#8217;s course was the &#8220;hardest course yet&#8221;.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">How to watch Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins Series 7<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">If you missed the series or are behind on a few episodes, you can still catch up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">All episodes of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins Series 7 are available to stream on Channel 4.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source uk.news.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three celebrities have successfully completed the course in the latest Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins series.
