SAS: Who Dares Wins is already the UK’s toughest reality show, and now it’s got a spin-off that’s going to make things even harder.

The new Channel 4 series, entitled SAS: Who Dares Wins Jungle Hell, will send 20 new recruits to Vietnam to start 2023 with a bang.

The original show has been a huge hit since it first began in 2015 and so far it has broadcast seven seasons, with the most recent wrapping up in May 2022.

There have been four celebrity spin-off seasons, with X Factor winner Alexandra Burke and ex-footballers Calum Best and Wayne Bridge among the winners.

The eighth season, Jungle Hell, will be heading to a brand new location for the show – the deep jungles of northern Vietnam.

But where exactly is it being filmed, and who are the new recruits?
