Returning to screens on Sunday 3rd August, the series will see chief instructor Billy Billingham and his team of Directing Staff - Foxy, Rudy and Chris - take the celebrities to Wales, where they will be stripped of their home comforts, families, agents and social media.

Taking part in the seventh season of the tough reality show are broadcaster Adebayo Akinfenwa, ex-footballer Troy Deeney, boxer Conor Benn and TV personalities Louie Spence, Tasha Ghouri and Hannah Spearritt.

Joining them will be Rebecca Loos, Chloe Burrows, Bimini, Michaella McCollum, Lady Leshurr, Lucy Spraggan and Adam Collard.

Across eight hour-long episodes, this squad of 14 celebrities will take part in the most gruelling phase of special forces selection.

As ever, there will be no special treatment given to the celebrities, as they confront surprising truths about themselves as they embark on a road to discover who they really are.

"I'm very excited to actually take on the course and just go for it, push myself and really challenge myself," said Tasha Ghouri ahead of her Celebrity SAS experience, adding: "But I also want to show people that having a disability makes you no less able - we can also push ourselves, and do crazy challenges if we put our mind to it.

"I really want to be able to actually walk away from the course feeling like I've accomplished what I wanted to do and I want to look back and think, wow, I did that, I'm proud of myself.

"I'll be doing this for the people who have doubted me. I want prove to them that they can't bring me down. I can fight my way to the end."

As fans of the show will know, the directing staff do not care how famous the recruits are, how many followers on social media they have or what they have done before.

Commenting on this year’s group of celebrity recruits, chief instructor Billy said: "This course is not an attendance course, the bar is set high and will not waiver.

"Every recruit is a volunteer who chose to step into our arena. Although many will start, very few will finish and even less will pass. This is not for the weak-minded or faint-hearted."

While DS Foxy added: "The world is now a complex and dangerous place with threats coming from all angles. Because of that, we as a country need to be ready.

"We want to show these celebrity recruits what it takes to prepare for war, but do they have what it takes, far away from their privileged lives?"

Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins returns on Sunday 3rd August at 9pm on Channel 4.
