Channel 4 series Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins is returning to TV screens in early September, and the 2022 line-up of 14 contestants has finally been revealed.
Love Island winner Amber Gill, former EastEnders actress Maisie Smith, and Strictly Come Dancing’s AJ Pritchard are among the names competing this year.
AJ’s brother Curtis has also signed up for the new series, as well as footballer Ashley Cain and former Olympic sprinter Dwayne Chambers.
Cain, whose eight-month-old daughter Azaylia die due to leukaemia in April 2021, said that his experience inspired his application to the show.
‘Losing my daughter was the most difficult experience of my life. I think to combat trauma you need to step outside your comfort zone and see who you really are,’ he said.
Smith, 21, who was a runner-up on Strictly Come Dancing in 2020, said that shooting Celebrity SAS was ‘the best experience’ of her life.
