First All-Female Trio Passes Celebrity SAS Course

In the finale of Channel 4's Celebrity SAS Who Dares Wins series eight, former Love Island stars Dani Dyer and Gabby Allen, along with retired Australian Olympic swimmer Emily Seebohm, became the first all-female trio to pass the grueling Special Forces-style selection course. The episode, aired on Monday night, concluded an eight-day challenge in the heat of North Africa, where 14 celebrities from the UK and Australia tested their physical and mental limits under the guidance of former Special Forces instructors.

The final task pushed the remaining five contestants to their breaking points during a 12-hour simulated hostage scenario. Blindfolded and interrogated, they endured stress positions, verbal assaults, and disorienting sounds including crying babies, animal noises, and scratching. Former rugby player Ben Cohen and retired Olympic swimmer Mack Horton, the last two men standing, withdrew under the intense psychological pressure and sleep deprivation. The three women faced additional ordeals, such as ice-cold water dousings, a group interrogation, and confinement in a dark coffin-like space, but held firm without divulging sensitive information.
