SAS: Who Dares Wins shake-up as hunky new special forces soldier joins line-up
TV’s toughest reality show SAS: Who Dares Wins is getting a new location – and a hunky new star.
The Channel 4 show is taking its next line-up of recruits into the world’s most unforgiving jungle, in Thung Ui, North Vietnam.
There’s also a shake-up when it comes to the terrifying staff putting the recruits through their paces.
Mark ‘Billy’ Billingham is getting promoted to the role of Chief Instructor – with new arrival Chris Oliver joining as a new member of the staff team.
They will be joined on the ‘DS’ unit commanding the recruits by Jason ‘Foxy’ Fox and American Rudy Reyes.
Former US Navy Seal Remi Adeleke, who joined with Rudy last series, quit the programme after less than a year in October.
Former Special Forces operator Chris, 40, stamped down on hopes he might be the ‘nice’ one in the group as he was announced last night.
He vowed: “I will bring a hard-hitting intensity to the SAS: Who Dares Wins DS, being a fiery character with a very passionate approach to military training, with respect being at the forefront of everything I do.
“The values I intend to instil in the recruits, as part of the DS, have been forged on operations where we have lost good operators.
“So they had better be under no illusions – anyone who doesn’t play by the rules will pay the price.”
American Rudy was more upbeat, saying cheerfully: “Brace yourselves for impact, ladies and gents!
“We have the roughest, toughest most carnivorous DS lineup! B Squadron bad ass Billy Billingham is leading the course for this jungle series of SAS: Who Dares Wins.
“My man has the skills, wisdom and knowledge of jungle survival like no operator I have ever known.
“So much respect for Chris and legends Billy and Foxy, so standby for a hardcore SAS: Who Dares Wins series!”
Billy added: “Having been a DS on actual military SAS selection and Chief Instructor at the British Army Jungle Warfare Training School in Brunei, there is nobody better placed than myself to lead the recruits through this treacherous environment.
“I’m looking forward to challenging and encouraging the new recruits. However, I will not be accepting any excuses – this will be the toughest course to date.”
SAS: Who Dares Wins returns in January with six new episodes.
It will show 20 ordinary men and women taking on the punishing jungle phase of SAS selection.
