After three departures during Sunday night's episode, only four contestants remain.
The latest episode saw former The Only Way Is Essex star Bobby Norris exit from the show after a doctor recommended that he withdraw following a wrestling match with former Love Island star Ovie Soko.
Later on in the instalment, it was Soko's turn to hand in his armband, while presenter Cherry Healey also decided to withdraw.
Tonight’s episode will certainly put the remaining four celebrities through their paces, as they're ambushed behind enemy lines and handed to the interrogators for questioning, but will they make it through?
