SAS Who Dares Wins: ‘Didn’t think ANYONE would do it’ Star shares scene’s terrifying truth

Appearing on Loose Women today to discuss the latest edition of the Channel 4 programme, which is in aid of Stand Up 2 Cancer, ex Special Forces soldier Ollie revealed his true feelings on the first episode’s terrifying challenge.

In the clips for the first episode, fans will have seen the various celebrities preparing to backflip out of a helicopter and into the sea, with Director Ant Middleton there to push them out into the unknown.

The challenge, which firmly propels the celebrities into their new lives on the course, is a scary one by anyone’s standards.

And now it turns out Ollie didn’t even think the celebrities would achieve the mean feat.

Talking to the Loose Women panellists, including Andrea McLean who took part in the programme, the star shared: “It’s a confidence test got to push people to the brink of their limits.

“You’ve got the noise of the helicopter, you’ve got everything going on.”

But then Ollie suddenly admitted: “I didn’t think anyone would do it.”

Asking her former superior what he thought of her, Andrea giggled as Ollie joked: “Are we on air?

“We have a habit of labelling people don’t we,” he continued seriously. “This term celebrities, we thought at the start its Stand Up 2 Cancer yeah.

“But we’ve still got our credibility as Special Forces soldiers to uphold. And you lot did well.”

The programme then showed a clip of Andrea breaking down in the first episode with Ant and Ollie, explaining why she struggles being shouted at.

Upset at the scenes, Stacey Solomon said: “I don’t like this, if I’d have known that’s what this was I would have locked you in the house.”

“People might say what’s the point in breaking someone down like that but there is,” Ollie insisted.

“When you’re faced with that you can’t engineer your own outcome.

“Your thoughts, feelings, actions and reactions are organic. Everything you do.”

“For some people that’s a hard bullet to take but it’s one that defines you positively going forward,” Ollie went on.

“It’s not interrogation as such, it’s finding out who you are.”

Andrea also shared her own feelings on why she decided to take part in the course, saying: “I originally said no and then I said no again, and then I thought – you only challenge yourself to your own boundaries and I thought why don’t I put myself in front of these guys and challenge myself by theirs.

“Falling backwards out of a helicopter wasn’t great [though],” she laughed. “It felt like i’d hit the ground I thought I’d missed!”

SAS Who Dares Wins for Stand Up 2 Cancer debuts Sunday night at 9pm on Channel 4.
