Where was Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins 2025 filmed?
These celebrities will be tested on the Channel 4 show, as they are put through "the most gruelling phase of Special Forces selection".
Celebrity SAS will once again feature an elite team of ex-Special Forces soldiers - Chief Instructor Billy Billingham and his team of Directing Staff (DS) – Foxy (Jason Fox), Rudy Reyes and Chris Oliver.
They will put the stars through their paces in the new series as they are stripped of their home comforts, families, agents and social media.
Channel 4 added: "Together the DS will push the celebrity recruits even further and teach them the key skills to survive.
"There will be no room for mistakes as these celebrity recruits face the hardest course yet, in the most gruelling stages of SAS selection.
"The fourteen famous faces will abandon their glamourous and luxurious lifestyles to immerse themselves in the punishing Special Forces training environment.
"This year's course will be physically demanding and psychologically gruelling; all but a few who take part will fail but who will make it to the end and eventually pass?"

Where was Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins 2025 filmed?
This year's series of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins was filmed in Wales - "the home of the first phase of SAS selection".
Sunday's (August 3) opening episode takes place on an Anglesey beach (in North Wales), according to the BBC.
Billingham, speaking to Lucy Owen on BBC Radio Wales, said: "It's beautiful, of course, but it's unforgiving. It's a great test ground.
"It's a birthplace of the special forces, the SAS, where we do all our training in Wales."
Previous series of Celebrity SAS have been filmed in locations including Vietnam, Chile and Morocco.
But Billingham said it was great to finally be "home" for a series.
He said: "We've been wanting to come home, as we call it, for a long time, because the fact that they're just in Wales is a test in itself.
"You can have four seasons in one day.
"It sounds exotic to go to New Zealand and Australia and all these places.
"But it was great to come home. It offers everything we want."
This isn't the first time Wales has been used by Channel 4 for the show, with a series of the non-celebrity version being filmed there in the past.

Maths expert reveals the tips to help you win the entire £172m jackpot TONIGHT
We also reveal the psychology behind picking the 'right' numbers and how to make your own lottery number picking game LOTTO CASH Maths expert reveals the top tips to help you win the ENTIRE £172million EuroMillions jackpot tonight Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) QUIT your job, travel round the world, buy a private island... what would you do with £172million? You'd better get planning, because statistics lottery expert Ben Parker has given us the lowdown on top tips to win tonight's monster Euromillions prize tonight. 3 There's a huge jackpot tonight - and you have to be in it to win it Credit: Getty 3 Stats pro Ben Parker is a whizz at crunching probabilities, and his tips could help YOU bag the mega Euromillions prize Ben Parker is a senior lecturer in statistics at Brunel University of London. He's previously crunched the numbers on how you can use maths to win at the hit TV show The Traitors - but now he's given us the inside scoop on tips that many think could increase your chances of winning the entire top prize. Euromillions is one of the most popular lottery games, so you'll need all the help picking the winning numbers in the bi-weekly battle against other players. You pick five numbers from 1-50 and two lucky stars from 1-12, or you can choose a lucky dip - which is when the numbers are randomly selected for you. The jackpot tonight has rolled over to a huge £172 million. Winning the prize would make you instantly richer than the likes of Adele, Dua Lipa and Harry Kane. Of course, the best way to increase your chances of winning is to buy more tickets - but only do that if you can afford it. Make sure you gamble responsibly and only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Set a money limit before playing. If you need advice, visit or Never pick 'right' numbers Statistically, each number has an equal chance of being drawn. That means that there are no numbers which are more likely to help you win. The trick is to pick numbers that players are least likely to pick. You don't want other people picking your numbers, because if you are lucky enough to win in tonight's game, that will mean you have to split the prize with other players. "The odds of winning the Euromillions is 140million to one," said Ben. "It's really unlikely that you will win, but if you do, you'll want to make sure you're the only one getting the prize." One of the main ways that you can avoid picking other people's numbers is to pick numbers on the left of the grid, and avoid those on the right. That's because studies show that people naturally gravitate towards the right-hand side. That's why retailers often place their higher value items to the right of the store, which is something known in the industry as the "invariant right". Should you buy more tickets? YOU'VE got to be in it to win it. Every time you buy a ticket the odds of winning increase. But WARNING - only spend what you can afford. At the end of the day, it's down to luck. This is why some people prefer to be part of a syndicate, where multiple tickets are bought. While this means you'll have to share the pot, the odds become more favourable each ticket you buy. Avoid "smaller" numbers A common tactic players use to choose their lottery numbers is to pick their "favourite" numbers, Ben said. These numbers tend to be lower numbers. He said: "People tend to pick birthdays, or pick 7 if they were born on the seventh month. "They might pick their children's birthday or their mum's birthday, or how old their dog is - people tend to pick these smaller numbers." If you want to increase your chances of winning the entire jackpot then you should avoid these smaller numbers. A good rule of thumb for what counts as a smaller number is one that falls outside birthdays dates, which are 1-31. So, aim for numbers between 32-50, as fewer people will be picking them. 'I went from living in a council house to bagging a mansion after £105million Euromillions win' BUILDER Steve Thompson treated his family to a lavish £4.5million estate after scooping the giant £105million EuroMillions lottery jackpot. Steve bagged the huge win back in 2019, making him richer than Harry Kane and Cheryl Cole. Neighbours near his imposing 7,000 sq ft farmhouse in Kent include Hollywood actors, rockstars and an IT tycoon. Steve wanted his kids to have their own rooms because they had to share in their previous three-bed council house. The dad-of-three and wife Lenka donated £200,000 in a bid to support their hometown, Selsey, in West Sussex.]The huge cricket fan also gave a whopping £100k to the local club for a new pavilion. Steve also invested a chunk of his win with the late Queen's bank, Coutts & Co. They reportedly put 'tens of millions' into a trust and could be set for another huge windfall in years to come. Steve said: "The kids have finally got their own bedrooms. It's a simple thing but it was all they ever wished for. 'I still haven't got over what happened to us and am honestly still trying to process it still. "It feels like yesterday we were in our old lives — it will take a little while to adjust." The phone book trick When it comes to picking numbers, it is better choose those that are totally random to increase your chances of being the only player with those numbers, Ben said. That's because humans are really good at picking numbers based on a pattern - even if you don't realise you're doing it. So it's better to find another way to do it. Of course, you can pick a lucky dip to do this for you. But there are more fun ways to pick random numbers. Ben suggests picking a random numbers in your contacts list stored in your phone. "Pick random phone numbers in your phone book, and look at the last two digits. "If those two digits are between 32 and 50, then keep it, otherwise pick another random phone number. 3 Make picking your numbers a game Make a game out of picking your numbers randomly - get the kids involved too, as it could be a fun family activity. Balls with numbers printed on them are drawn randomly from a machine to pick the Euromillions numbers. Why not create your own random lottery machine? "You could get a load of ping pong balls, number them, then pick them at random," he said. "If you're worried about the low numbers, don't include those." If you don't have ping pong balls hanging around the house, why not draw numbers from a hat? This won't increase your chances of winning - but it does increase the likelihood of picking random numbers and if you win, you could keep the entire pot. Never use ChatGPT Everyone is using ChatGPT these days - but should you use it to help pick your lottery numbers? You might think that using the handy AI tool is a good way of picking random numbers, but Ben warned against it. He said: "Chat GPT is terrible at maths," he said. "It would just pick random numbers that have been seen elsewhere on the internet. "It would probably pick last week's lucky numbers because it knows those were good - and it will try to please you in some ways."

The Traitors favourite lands hosting slot on huge new radio show in major career move
BBC series The Traitors has boosted the profile of a number of contestants featured on its three series since the show launched in 2022 and sky-rocketed in popularity A favourite from the popular BBC gameshow The Traitors has landed a huge new radio show in an amazing career turn. The Traitor's star Jaz Singh, who gained huge popularity with fans of the challenge programme after appearing in the second series, is set to host a brand new radio show on BBC Asian Network. Former Faithful Jaz's new show is set to air every Monday to Thursday from 3pm to 6pm. It's a huge step for the TV turned radio star as the gig is his first full-time role as a radio presenter. It comes after a Strictly Come Dancing star pulls out of show as he makes career announcement. Jaz's new radio show will see him feature a mix of music and entertainment and aims to reflect the interests and experiences of British Asian communities. Speaking about the exciting new career turn, Jaz said: "As a finalist on BBC The Traitors to now hosting my own live radio show with BBC Asian Network, I'm beyond grateful to the people that are putting their trust and time into me because this is a dream!! Expect the biggest tunes, good vibes and be prepared to see a side of me you've never witnessed before!" The new show, which is clearly an exciting opportunity for Jaz, will launch in less than a month's time on Monday September 1. Ahmed Hussain, Head of Asian Network, said: "We're entering an exciting new chapter at Asian Network. Jaz Singh's new afternoon show is a key part of our commitment to celebrating British Asian voices and music culture. His energy and charisma are infectious, and I'm confident he'll quickly become a familiar and much-loved presence in our listeners' daily routines." Jaz has made appearances on BBC Asian Network since leaving the Scottish castle, as he's hosted Asian Network Motivation as a rotational presenter as well as covering shows across the network. Meanwhile, he's also featured on BBC Radio 4, hosting a documentary for the radio channel. Jaz was a fan-favourite as he appeared on the second series of the show and he made it all the way to the final roundtable, where he was sadly banished. Jaz was a clever detective for the Faithfuls and was even nicknamed Jazatha Christie during his time in the castle. He was one of the only Faithfuls in the castle who had suspicions about Harry Clark, but he sadly wasn't able to convince the others and Harry got away with the prize money. Fans of the hit BBC show won't have to wait much longer for another taste of Traitors action as a celebrity version of the show has been filmed and is set for release in the autumn. The star-studded line-up includes Stephen Fry, Tom Daley, Clare Balding, Alan Carr, Bob Mortimer, Lucy Beaumont, Mark Bonnar, Cat Burns, Charlotte Church, Ruth Codd, Tameka Empson, Paloma Faith, Kate Garraway, Celia Imrie, Joe Marler and many more.

Destination X star details debilitating hidden health condition as BBC series became ‘ultimate challenge'
The Destination X contestant saw the BBC gameshow as the "ultimate challenge" to help her overcome it. Destination X contestant Chloe-Anne has opened up about a health condition that has impacted her since childhood, as she hoped to overcome it while taking part in the BBC series. The historian from Oxford was one of 13 strangers battling it out on Rob Brydon's new gameshow. The show sees them travel across Europe and take part in challenges to try and find out where they are. In a Traitors-style twist, Chloe-Anne was eliminated from the competition in the very first episode, only to be brought back into the game earlier this week. However, it was only for a short stint, as she lost out on the £100,000 cash prize when she failed to correctly guess the location after a series of tense challenges in episodes that aired earlier this week. Despite losing her spot in the show, Chloe-Anne has revealed that she did complete what she set out to do in overcoming her anxiety. In an exclusive interview, the 27-year-old shared: 'I grew up with crippling anxiety, like I had such bad anxiety when I was growing up that I couldn't go into a cinema without screaming, crying, or throwing up and running out, it was really extreme claustrophobia and anxiety. 'When I was about 15 years old, I developed this phrase to help me get through it, which is 'Be more Tiger-Lily than Wendy'. I wanted to be more like Tiger-Lily from Peter Pan than Wendy because Wendy was this wimp who couldn't do anything by herself and just cried all the time, and I just felt like she was me, and I didn't want to be her. 'I wanted to be this badass warrior princess like Tiger Lily, who could do absolutely anything, and I felt like this was the final challenge to that. I've come so far with being more Tiger Lily than Wendy, and this was the ultimate way of proving to myself you really can do anything like this.' As a teenager, Chloe-Anne worked to overcome her anxiety, starting with smaller challenges, even just taking herself to the cinema. She then went into public speaking and is now becoming an aerialist and hanging herself from the ceiling to do circus tricks. With plans to write historical fiction, pursue a PhD, and launch a social media series featuring historical facts from every country in the world, the star has taken major steps to overcome her anxiety but saw Destination X as her 'ultimate challenge.' Chloe-Anne had previously applied for The Traitors and wanted to try her hand at Destination X not only to overcome her anxiety but also as a tribute to her grandmother, who had a huge influence on her life and with whom she spent time doing puzzle books growing up. She told us: 'My grandmother was a huge part of my life growing up and she's always been a huge inspiration for me. She passed away almost exactly a year before the filming of the show, and we used to do puzzle books and riddles together, and she always used to love doing stuff like that with me. It felt like a bit of a sign with the timing of it a little bit.' Reflecting on her experience as a whole, Chloe-Anne said it was 'phenomenal' and a 'whirlwind', despite feeling 'gutted' by her exit. 'It was a very strange experience in that it both felt like it was a really, really long period of time and a really short period of time at the same time. 'It feels like a crazy amount happened in a really short period of time, but yeah, it was phenomenal, a completely unforgettable experience. 'It was like nothing else that is going to happen to me again, probably, or has ever happened before.'
