00:00In the Special Forces, there's a saying, pain retains. For every mistake, there is a death.
00:21In this series, 14 celebrity recruits will be called upon to face the most gruelling stages of S.A.S. selection.
00:40The world is a dangerous place. And we as a country need to be ready. We want to show these celebrity recruits what it takes to prepare for war.
00:59Led by an elite team of ex-Special Forces soldiers.
01:03Are you trying to pull the wool over my eyes?
01:05No excuse, sir.
01:06No excuse.
01:08How bad do you want it?
01:11I'm going to be there right at the end, flying the flag for the misfits.
01:17Which way are we going to go?
01:19Do you think I'm actually built for the Special Forces? Look at these gruelling tapes.
01:23Open your eyes!
01:25Come on!

13:06Yeah, let's go.
13:06Ex-Premier League footballer, Troy Deeney.
13:10People that played against me would say I was a horrible, you know what, because my job
13:17was to beat you up.
13:18It wasn't to be friends with you.
13:20Copy, cup.
13:21I wanted to win so much.
13:22I wanted to win so much that I didn't care about anybody else.
13:25And that's what got me to the level I was at.
13:29All right, face this way.
13:30Can you swim?
13:31Yes.
13:32After you swim?
13:33Fair enough.

14:08Hands up!
14:10You're not here!
14:12That's a pass from a chance!
14:19Chance.
14:21That's a pass.
14:24Louis, you'll love that if he pulls you off.
14:26I said! He spins you around and just flips you over like a seal.
14:31Oh, my God.
14:33Go!
14:35Go!
14:37Go!
14:39What the fuck?
14:44Over here.
14:46Big land, ain't ya?
14:48I'm not a fan of swimming. I don't like being cold.
14:50I don't like heights.
14:52As long as we don't do any of them, I'm good.
14:55Go!
14:59Go! Swim!
15:00Swim!
15:01The boat's on its way.

15:04Get going of a set and go!
15:09Get your head down and go!
15:11Keep going!
15:12Do not give up!
15:14I'm probably best known for being a little bit of a Lothario.
15:19Swim! Don't stop!
15:21I think the course might allow people to see a completely different side of me.
15:25Keep going!
15:26I'm hyper-competitive.
15:27I don't like failing.
15:28That's the bottom line.
15:29Hand down!
15:31Pull it up!
15:32That's a pass, number eight!
15:35This is a course that is really going to challenge me.
15:40There's no getting myself out of a situation with high kick and the splits.
15:45I mean, obviously, you know, that's been my cash cow.
15:49Falling to the splits.
15:50Great, yeah, I can still do it.
15:51Yep, we'll have him.
15:52Book him.
15:53Do you know what I mean?
15:54Fail!
15:55Number 14!

16:09Number 13!
16:10Last up, number 13.
16:11TV personality.
16:12Rebecca Luce.
16:13When the Beckham documentary came out, I was taken completely by surprise.
16:32Let's go!
16:35him trying to portray an image of perfection that was nothing like reality you swim fast
16:43i'm not sure stuff not with my clothes on we're not in that game here you're gonna have to swim
16:48with your clothes on the way our relationship was spoken about and the fact that no responsibility
16:52was taken for his actions that really ignited another fire in me it was like reliving 2004
16:58all over again but then this time we have the added dynamic of social media
17:02fitness together and i think one of the reasons i want to do this course is because i want to find
17:07out whether i'm able to stick it through i think it's going to be really really tough stand by
17:18go
17:24what was that wimp about
17:25get going keep going keep going go go you're off way
17:37faster you can make it go she's got it you know go go go go do not give up she's got tired look no no no

17:52oh
17:57jvok fail
18:00oh
18:07sit down there yeah she was in five meters
18:11could not have mustered that last push i thought i wasn't gonna make it so that was a feel there
18:23i told you already we are looking for a hundred percent and i'll tell you right now if you did not give
18:29a hundred percent if you think you did i suggest you take your armband off hand it over now and go home
18:35do we understand each other yes sir go move keep it tight as quick as you turn in the rear go
18:46that jump was so scary that was terrifying
18:52the one thing that's going to happen is right now it's all good in two days when the same people
18:57are being shouted out i'm gonna i'm gonna be like yo it's a fucking about
19:00one i think we've got another challenge today yeah i think we've got loads yeah they're gonna kill us
19:10let's go the recruits have been brought to a forward operating base which will be their home
19:16for the remainder of the course well then closing gaps up fucking strolling in for a sunday morning
19:23fucking picnic this is your accommodation the beds are numbered this is where you're going to call
19:30home for the next however long anything up to eight days keep it tidy time's your own cheer up
19:37we come for a wee with me yes it's like your bed at home club yeah look at all these cobwebs right by my
19:50hand oh how you find it then guys first mission when i saw it i thought i've got this yeah and then
19:59fear got the better of me that's the thing right overall a disappointing start if i'm honest you
20:11know three passes and the rest was pretty pathetic i mean they just look like a shower shed there was
20:17no intensity there was no passion there was no nothing okay a few people are highlighting themselves
20:22number 10 big unit very confident he smashed it he breathed it yeah he's up there
20:29at the top he seems respectful of the course doesn't he from from the off a good pass room number
20:35nine she was petrified absolutely petrified she left the platform and started trying to
20:41fly or swimming mid-air she was definitely better at flying than swimming yeah but you know what for
20:47her she overcome a lot 13 was a fail she gave up i felt she did i think she just felt like she
20:56weren't gonna make and just gave up didn't really keep going at it you could tell she was already
21:01being overwhelmed yeah it's just a demeanor at the minute he's under question with me yeah so we'll
21:07bring in 13 just to see where she's at what she's here for yeah now i've got two wet socks these and the
21:15ones from the ones from the wet boots number 13. oh my god at the gate
21:26i don't know why are you here why am i here because this is
21:56what's a lifetime opportunity to learn from the best and be pushed to my limits
22:04but do you want to learn from us yes stuff i do want to learn from you
22:09you seem to want to do things at your own pace okay when we're asking you to do things
22:15at a pace that is slightly uncomfortable like sprinting to a boat yeah does that mean you always
22:22want to fight against doing anything that's other than your set way of doing things not at all
22:29not at all what's number 13's life like i feel i'm at a good really good place
22:37you got any regrets no stuff no regrets no lessons learned
22:42would you do things differently if i went back inside yes of course yeah i'm thinking you're
22:50talking about do you have a better yeah yeah being really interested to get your tick on it
22:59all right um what do you want to know how you felt about it
23:03so i was his pa yeah personal assistant um he always made me feel very special but it was no
23:11big deal i still just did my job and i didn't even fancy him that much at the beginning anyway
23:16on the first night i was with him i said to him you must do this all the time i thought i was just
23:20like a little bit of fun for him and he said to me no i've never done this before and he could have
23:24just said yeah i've had loads of girls we're just having some fun fine by me i know where i'm going in
23:29but so you had a relationship going on but what did you expect was going to happen i wasn't expecting
23:38anything from it the fact that he lied to me the whole time that pissed me off now this has happened
23:46then where did you find yourself i was unhappy with the way that i had been treated and so i didn't
23:52want to go around anymore um sort of carrying the secret rumors started spreading journalists started
23:59getting in touch and in the end i decided it's better if it comes from me so i gave an interview
24:04thinking it would be something and end up being something else and then i just spent a few years
24:09trying to see if i can get it back so you give this interview yeah it's out yeah worldwide news then
24:18you'd sort of disappeared which i'm i'm presuming was intentionally yeah i've really put it really
24:25far behind me right so i'm going to revisit a question what do you want to get from this course
24:35i want to grow from this course as a person i want to see how strong i can be and how far i can push
24:42myself but you know you can give more okay if you want to get a lot from this show us that you want
24:48to get a lot from it understood god
24:56i do look back at who i was back in my 20s the only focus ever on the fucking beckham situation
25:19it felt unjust that my life was pretty hell and his career and his life just kept blossoming that
25:26didn't feel quite right still doesn't okay i think i've definitely taken most of the blame for
25:35what's happened and rightly so it was part of my life but you know we were two and he was older than
25:43me and he was my boss you good you can't change the things that have happened is my attitude i just
25:50kind of roll my sleeves up and get on with it because everything that i've experienced has brought
25:55me to where i am today and it's made me a little bit stronger
26:00how's your ship mate i couldn't do it it's a bit sensitive it's temperamental you know
26:19it's midway through the first phase of the course
26:21and the 14 celebrity recruits are adjusting to life in the camp
26:28just think if i sit down now and he goes five minutes
26:33that's a compromising position to me do i push or do i pull do i push or do i push
26:38or hello food first day it's a lot yeah it's a lot to take him i don't think i'm gonna last night
26:56no guys really i'm too old for this i am i feel like a granddad in a kid's school this isn't my cup
27:01of tea let's go oh my gosh shoot i'm kidding oh i want to go home it's not fun anymore don't worry
27:13don't worry don't worry move quickly my fucking dad's army
27:20okay genuinely how hard can it get very hard yeah very hard
27:26let's go move with power pass get in there two lines fight that way get a grip yourself number seven
27:46for their second task the ds have brought the recruits to an abundant compound keep moving
27:52a hostage rescue mission is probably the most dangerous that a special forces operator could
27:58take on let's go close the gap the odds are stacked against you you're in the enemy's backyard they've

29:59at least one hostage that we know about on this compound that's what he looks like the teams have
30:05been given intelligence on a hostage this is live footage that we've got from the drone it's your job
30:13to go onto the compound and clear the four buildings but what the recruits don't know
30:18is that two more people are being held captive who they must also rescue when you've cleared the
30:25compound you throw the grenade and destroy it right follow me let's go
30:32i'll take him you go up ahead

34:33you can be taking fire from the enemy things exploding all around you get up there it is utter chaos
34:40it's more you gotta clear it go go go go in the midst of it all it is essential that you stay calm
34:51yeah that's in that's it that you must also be ready for everything to change in a split second

35:05preserve life you cleared all the buildings you got the hostages it's a pass how many rooms have you cleared

35:22and that is something that you will have to live with for the rest of your life

35:59is number three michaela working with number 10 troy i think the public have only seen the football
36:07perception on me which is essentially me going to war quick as you can close in i think there'll be a
36:14pressure and i think there'll be an expectation that i should be at the front we've got intelligence

36:26come solely from myself let's go let's go but i back myself in life just because i haven't lost yet

38:22the rest of your fellow recruits here no get your kit

38:41that would really piss me off number 14 louis spence is the second celebrity recruit to leave the course
38:55i'm guessing as a sportsman you're like i'm going the whole way i'd like to after today i would like
39:00fuck it off and this is only day one it's it's just poor man it's no excuse it's just for me
39:17oh god it's so unappetizing the celebrity recruits are nearing the end of the first phase of the course
39:26well done everyone yeah well done those who passed the last task are having hot food in the mess

41:13just recently retired struggling a little bit to be entirely honest
41:18what are you struggling with purpose who why doing okay in life kids happy miss happy but just missing
41:28something what do you think it is what is it that you miss a genuine driving passion i would say
41:37like football's been my thing for since i can remember talk us through that then i wasn't the best
41:43player by any stretch of imagination but i squeezed every piece of the orange i was playing sunday league
41:50with my mates at 19. by 25 i was captain in the premier league so where does that drive come from
42:00um my mom honestly yeah we had a tough tough upbringing so uh seeing her work three jobs never
42:07complain never cry genuinely an angel my dad was a bit of a horrible bastard but he was my dad if
42:15that makes any sense he was you know he did a lot of things that were on the illegal side we didn't
42:21really see it until i was nine years old and you know beat me and my mom up pretty bad and um yeah
42:28life changed for me at nine years old really what changed like can you remember the emotions yeah i i
42:36changed i just went defensive we're very insular i wanted to fight more i wanted to prove i was tough
42:42proof i was cool because of how that made you feel at the time yeah it's a shame i was embarrassed
42:47yeah like now as older you understand but you like i say 9 10 and then 11 i was a man of the house
42:54it seems like you used it as a sort of anchor point as a star point to drive on and look what you went
43:01and done fresh enough footballer for that amount of time yeah but i fucked up a lot along that way
43:07fucked up a lot of relationships obviously i went to jail as well um when i was 21
43:13during your professional career yeah so what club you're at at wafford in the championship yeah so my
43:19um in february my dad in fact we found out my dad had cancer went out stupidly drinking with the lads

44:55just be ready for anything god
45:09walk
45:14being in jail is like i know they're trying to glamorize it now but it's
45:19fucking horrible like there's nothing good about it
45:24the first day was a blur
