Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins aired the final episode of this series tonight, with four celebrities successfully passing the brutal SAS selection course they’ve been put through during the show.
The show’s chief instructor, Rudy Reyes, declared that Maisie Smith, AJ Pritchard, Calum Best and Ferne McCann all successfully passed the tests they were put through after they were subjected to intense interrogation methods designed to break their spirit and put them under as much pressure as possible.
The show started off with 14 celebrities initially, but only four of the celebrities successfully passed the interrogation test.

However, the winning four celebrities had one last task ahead of them. They were taken to the Jordanian desert and tasked with scaling a steep sand dune in 40-degree heat while lugging huge rucksacks with them. They had only 40 minutes to complete the task, despite having just been through an exhaustive night of interrogation and stress.
Pritchard made it to the summit of the sand dune first while Best made it in second place. McCann finished third while Smith struggled on. She had 200 metres to go with less than three minutes left on the timer. She made it with just 20 seconds left on the clock.
The instructors then deliberated which of the celebs had successfully passed the entire course. Happily, they decided that all four of them passed.

Reyes said: “From day one, we demanded 100%. Into your tasks, into your discipline, into your teamwork. Which of you gave everything they had? That’s what we demand. Congratulations. You all have passed this course. Job well done.”
EastEnders actress Smith said that she thought she didn’t “have a chance” when she first started the show but is now “over the moon” to have passed every test: “I gave 110% every day, and there’s nothing that didn’t make me proud.”
Former Strictly Come Dancing star Pritchard revealed that he hadn’t slept in 30 hours during the events of the finale and couldn’t even lift his arm above his head because it was so painful.

“Actually having a final end point is just the best feeling in the world. And to be here in Jordan at the top of this monstrous dune just puts it at another level. It’s one of the best achievements of my life. Hands down,” Pritchard said.
Meanwhile, Best, the son of former footballer George Best, said that he is “blown away” to have come out on top while model and The Only Way is Essex star McCann said she was “in a state of shock” at having passed the entire course.
This finishes an intense season, which began with The Only Way is Essex star Pete Wicks dropping out following an injury sustained in one of the first tasks. But now, these four celebs have battled their way to the top of the summit both literally and figuratively.
