A brand new batch of recruits are set to face their toughest challenge yet, as SAS: Who Dares Wins returns with 20 contestants battling their fears in the brutal Vietnam jungle.

Mark ‘Billy’ Billingham and Jason ‘Foxy’ Fox will once again be joined by Directing Staff Rudy Reyes for the eight series, with new member former Special Forces Operator Chris Oliver also joining the team.

The six-part series will see gruelling tasks put forward to the recruits, including a former WWE star, as they face extreme temperatures, heights, intense physical tasks and see who can make it to the end of SAS selection.

Speaking exclusively to Metro.co.uk ahead of the new series airing, DS Billy and Chris revealed how difficult these challenges actually were, and the inevitable injuries that occured.

‘There’s quite a few injuries,’ Billy warned.

‘That’s natural with the environment, you know, the heat exhaustion, that’s natural, that’s going to happen, because people are being pushed to a place they’ve never been and they are under these extreme circumstances.’

He continued: ‘If you don’t listen to what you need to be doing and doing it, because we don’t keep repeating it, if we have to keep repeating it there’s a problem, and you obviously shouldn’t be there.’

‘There are some tough, tough moments,’ he added.

Billy also said that the recruits willingness to trust the DS and undertake the tasks without any experience impresses him.

‘How ballsy some of them are, some of them are scared of heights and that’s scary enough, then all of a sudden they’re being put onto a rope to absail, next to very, very little instruction,’ he said.

‘We’re not reckless, everything is safe, we’re not going to hurt or kill anybody, I mean, we can’t say we’re never going to hurt anybody because that’s down to [themselves].

‘But yeah that impresses me, that they listen and they have a go at it.

‘There’s very few that will go, “I’m not doing it”, we have had it and then they go, but that impresses me, that they’ll listen, they have trust in us, and they’re petrified but they’ll still have a go at it.’

SAS: Who Dares Wins returns to Channel 4 on Monday, January 23 at 9pm.
