Celebrity SAS was thrown into chaos after THREE and another was forced to withdraw during Monday’s episode of the Channel 4 show.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The eighth series of the programme returned to our screens this month and has seen famous faces from the UK take on celebrities from Australia in a number of gruesome challenges.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Only MAFS Australia<\/a> star Jessika Power<\/a>, 33, and actress Natalie Bassingthwaighte, 50, had pulled out of the show… but that all changed last night.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The beginning of episode four saw the stars ‘rapidly’ climb up 27 flights of stairs with their heavy bags on.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Social media star\u00a0Jack Joseph, 25, really struggled from the get go, telling his campmates ‘I don’t think I can do this’.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When they got to the top, DS staff Rudy\u00a0Reyes, 54, demanded that he had to complete 20 push-ups after referring to his\u00a0Bergen as a backpack.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jack (pictured) was the first celebrity to quit the episode on Monday night after struggling to do some push ups<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Jack managed to do two before telling Rudy: ‘VW staff.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

Talking to the camera before the series, he said: ‘I would consider myself not a quitter, I think I can be…<\/p>\n

‘If I take that arm band off, I’ll be really disappointed in myself.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

When they returned to camp, actor\u00a0Axle Whitehead, 45, went to see the on-site doctor about some shooting pain in his arm.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘We’ve got neck pain, numbness and tingling in this arm, and recuded power in this arm,’ the doctor told him as Axle burst into tears.<\/p>\n

‘You know what I am going to say, we can’t keep you in, we are going to have to medically withdraw you, we’re going to have to get it looked at.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

The next person to go was YouTuber\u00a0Cole Anderson-James, 28.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He called a member of the DS to come out to him and was greeted with Jason Fox, 49.<\/p>\n

Cole said: ‘I’m ready to go home.’<\/p>\n

Jason fumed: ‘F*** off, what are you talking about? Because your mate is gone?’<\/p>\n

Cole replied: ‘I just don’t think I’m mentally strong enough.’<\/p>\n

‘Mate you’ve given up,’ Jason told him. ‘You’ve taken the easy route, which you will continue to do when you walk through that door. Mark my words. Give me your arm band.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘F***ing waste of f***ing space. F*** off!’\u00a0<\/p>\n

Towards the end of the episode cricketer Brad Hodge, 51, was the fourth to quit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After taking part in a challenge, which saw them locate an injured solider in a village, Brad took some time to his self after suffering from back pain.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He called out for a member of staff to come out and he said: ‘The body has got the better of the mind. I am going to have to request a VW.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rudy told him: ‘I’ll tell you what, you pushed further than I thought. It definitely shows your mind is very, very strong, I thought you did a great job.’<\/p>\n

It comes after Gabby Allen broke down in tears as she suffered a panic attack while opening up about the death of her father during a Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins interrogation on Sunday night.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The former Love Island star headed for a discussion with the directing staff on the Channel 4<\/a> show after failing the first task in the latest episode of the show.<\/p>\n

The show tasks famous faces with undergoing a condensed version of the SAS selection process, overseen by former special forces officers Rudy Reyeves, Jason ‘Foxy’ Fox, Billy Billingham and Chris Oliver.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gabby, 33, and her fellow celebrity contestants were tasked with running across a ladder, suspended between two buildings high above the ground, all while escaping fake gun shots from the ‘enemy’ below.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The reality star made it halfway across the ladder before taking a tumble, failing the task, and was scolded by the directing staff for a lack of ‘composure’.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It meant that she was next to be pulled aside for an interrogation by Foxy and Billy, to open up on her background before appearing on the show.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Talk soon turned to the death of Gabby’s father, Mark Allen, who passed away from\u00a0 glioblastoma multiforme, a form of brain cancer, in January 2013.<\/p>\n

\"Gabby <\/div><\/div>\n

Gabby Allen broke down in tears as she suffered a panic attack while opening up about the death of her father during a Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins interrogation on Sunday night<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Asked why she decided to tackle the SAS course, Gabby revealed that late father Mark, who passed away aged 54, inspired her to take on the challenge.<\/p>\n

Breaking down in tears and struggling to breathe, she revealed: ‘My dad died when I was 20 from brain cancer.<\/p>\n

‘It was a very quick turnaround from him just being normal to passing away.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘But he would have f****ng loved to have done this, absolutely loved it so the fact that I\u2019m doing it, I want to do it because he would say, “it\u2019s so sick” that his daughter\u2019s doing it.<\/p>\n

‘It shows that I\u2019m not just twinkle toes now, I\u2019ve got a bit of grit about me.’<\/p>\n

Reflecting on failing the task, she emotionally continued: ‘Ever since I was younger, I’ve been pushed to be the best at whatever I’ve done, so when I’m not, it’s hard.’<\/p>\n

Before sending Gabby back to the camp, DS Billy offered up some comfort by telling Gabby that her ‘dad would be super proud of her’.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Speaking to the cameras ahead of the show, Gabby further explained: ‘My dad never let on how bad it was, he was trying to fight it so hard and it wasn’t working.<\/p>\n

‘Seeing somebody that’s been the strongest person in your life and your biggest supporter to then seeing him in such a fragile, vulnerable state and really fighting, that was the hardest part.<\/p>\n

‘He was 54, he had not seen anything that I’d done – he won’t see me walk down the aisle, if I ever do f***ing walk down the aisle – but he would be absolutely buzzing that I’m doing this.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘He’d be thrilled to bits, and he’d be like, “you have to do well”, because he was always like, “you’re so strong” and he was always so proud of me.<\/p>\n

‘Even now, it makes me so resilient with everything I do, I want him to be proud.’<\/p>\n

Celebrity SAS continues Sunday at 9pm on Channel 4.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
