Decades of rivalry come to a head as Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins returns to Channel 4, pitting seven British celebrities against seven Australians in the ultimate test of strength, endurance and nerve. The Aussies may have won the Ashes—but can the Brits fight back? Premiering on Sunday 4 January at 9pm and airing Sundays and Mondays on Channel 4, with all episodes also available to stream, these fourteen famous faces ditch fame, filters and luxury for a brutal, condensed version of the SAS selection course in the scorching North African sun—where ego counts for nothing, every weakness is exposed, and the only thing that matters is making it through and passing the course.

It’s Brits vs Aussies like never before. Team UK brings TV stars Dani Dyer (28) and Gabby Allen (33), social media personalities Jack Joseph (25) and Cole Anderson-James (28), rugby legend Ben Cohen (46), Gladiator and Olympian Toby Olubi (37), and cricketer Graeme Swann (46). Team Australia strikes back with TV star Jessika Power (33), Neighbours actors Ryan Moloney (45) and Natalie Bassingthwaighte (50), cricketer Brad Hodge (50), Olympic swimmers Emily Seebohm (33) and Mack Horton (29), and Home and Away actor and musician Axle Whitehead (44).

Under the merciless gaze of Chief Instructor Billy Billingham MBE and Directing Staff Foxy (Jason Fox), Rudy Reyes and Chris Oliver, the celebrities are stripped of comfort, excuses, and ego. It doesn’t matter how famous they are or how many social media followers they have—everyone faces the same brutal test. Every slip-up is punished. Every crack exploited. No test is tougher, and no allowances will be made for these famous faces. Bonds will snap, egos will shatter, and rivalries will boil over as the Brits and Aussies battle it out in a race to survive. The only question is who has the grit, resilience, and mental toughness to make it through and pass the condensed SAS selection course—only then will they earn the respect of the DS.
