Cult hit SAS: Who Dares Wins is back, but for this series we’ll watch 12 celebrities tested to their very extremes – all to raise money for Stand Up To Cancer.
With tough chief instructor Ant Middleton at the helm, the stars will be put through their paces over the show’s infamous seven-day course to see if they’ve got the grit to pass the gruelling SAS selection process.
So what can we expect this series? Here’s everything you need to know.
What time is Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins for Stand Up To Cancer on TV?
Fresh from the show’s civilian series, Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins airs from Sunday 7th April on Channel 4 at 9pm.
Where was Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins filmed?
Unlike previous series, this celebrity version was filmed in the Andes Mountains in Chile.
Channel 4 explained, “The DS and recruits will be based in an abandoned ex-military forward operating base in the brutal and spectacular Andes mountains and will be tested to the extremes of winter warfare in the most deadly environment of them all.
“They’ll face all the challenges of living and operating at high altitude, with a lack of oxygen, in freezing temperatures and unforgiving snow storms.”
Which celebrities are taking part in Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins?
A mix of famous faces from the worlds of sports, entertainment and politics will leave their showbiz bubble to take part in the most difficult show on television.
Amongst some of the fitter contestants, Olympic double-gold medallist Victoria Pendleton, former England footballer Wayne Bridge and rugby stars Helen Fisher and Ben Foden will be testing their strengths in the unforgiving Chilean mountains.
Love Island series three runner-up Camilla Thurlow and former Made In Chelsea staple Sam Thompson are also set to face the elements, alongside presenters AJ Odudu, Jeff Brazier, Dev Griffin and Andrea McLean.
Hollywood actor Jeremy Irvine and former Conservative MP Louise Mensch round off the team of 12. Find out more about them all here.
Course consultants Jason ‘Foxy’ Fox, Mark Billingham and Matthew Ollerton will be alongside Ant Middleton to put our celebs through their paces.
What can we expect in Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins for SU2C on TV?
Although the celebrity edition of the show is for good causes, Middleton and the rest of his team won’t be pulling any punches.
Foxy explained, “We took great pleasure bringing these celebrities into our world and giving them as hard a time as we give anyone.
“There’s been no allowance made for fame or status; the celebrities have had to push themselves to the limit and reveal themselves like never before.

Much like the civilian version, the SU2C edition of the show looks to test both the physical and psychological resilience of the celebs.
The first episode sees a particularly tough opening task, with a few of the celebrities struggling with the pressures both on their bodies and their minds almost straightaway.
Middleton added, “Celebrities go through their lives showing the public a front and face they want them to see but this process stripped all that away.
“They’ve importantly turned up to raise money for SU2C but also to learn something about themselves by facing extreme experiences.”
