Famous for: <\/strong>Winning Love Island and having a podcast with her dad Danny Dyer <\/p>\n

What have they said about taking part in Celebrity SAS?<\/strong>: \u201cI\u2019m a massive fan of the show. I\u2019ve 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\u2019ll 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.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

What have they said about taking part in Celebrity SAS?: <\/strong>\u201cAs a lot of people know me from being on Love Island, I think viewers are going to be really surprised when they see me on the course – I’m extremely determined and I don’t give up easily. Fitness is a huge part of my life with it being my job and working with hundreds of women daily helping them find joy in their health and wellness journey. I wanted to test my mental strength and challenge myself in a way I haven’t before and SAS certainly did that.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve watched previous series and knew this was a once in a lifetime experience, and an opportunity for me to showcase a side of me that people haven\u2019t seen before. I might be small but I have guts, am strong and am extremely competitive – watch this space!” <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

What have they said about taking part in Celebrity SAS?:<\/strong> \u201cI wanted to take part to rediscover parts of myself but also to be tested mentally. We live with ourselves every day, so I wanted to test myself mentally and physically to try something really tough that would challenge my strength. It\u2019ll be a good lesson for me. <\/p>\n

\u201cFacing the Aussies is going be very interesting. They might want to get the record straight, after 22 years of hurt…\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

What have they said about taking part in Celebrity SAS?:<\/strong> \u201cI wanted to take part in Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, mostly to step out of my comfort zone and see how hard I could push myself but also, I wanted my kids to see that even the hardest tasks can be achieved if you just keep putting one foot in front of the other.\u201d<\/p>\n

Our verdict:<\/strong> As a sportsman, with his competitive mentality, it\u2019s likely Graeme will go far in the show. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Famous for: <\/strong>Being a content creator <\/p>\n

What have they said about taking part in Celebrity SAS?: <\/strong>\u201cI 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\u2019t try a hundred percent. I didn\u2019t 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

What have they said about taking part in Celebrity SAS?: <\/strong>\u201cLeaving professional sport hasn\u2019t meant losing that internal drive. I\u2019ve been actively seeking challenges that force me to stretch, evolve and tap back into that competitive instinct. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe SAS training challenge stood out because there are very few environments as physically and mentally demanding. Their ability to train for any scenario, any environment, fascinated me \u2014 and the appeal of walking into something where the unknown is part of the experience was impossible to ignore.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
