Traitors and Celebrity SAS star 'involved in boozy brawl with TikTok star'
The Traitors winner and former Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins star Harry Clark was reportedly involved in a 'drunken scuffle' with a TikTok influencer following a recent showbiz event After viewers watched Harry Clark get the chop from Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, reports of a previous bust up and a glitzy bash came to light. The Traitors star exited the gruelling Channel 4 show at the midway point after being caught out. And now allegations have came to light on a boozy brawl involving Harry and a TikTok star at the Brit Awards. According to reports, the reality TV star had a 'drunken scuffle' with social media star Moe Osman at the awards ceremony in March. Sources claim the alleged incident saw Harry, 24, retaliate after being "antagonised" by the influencer. A source told The Sun that Moe, who is known as Hellacreps online, and Harry clashed at the event. They said: "Harry is clearly really enjoying being able to attend amazing events like the Brits but at the event he and Moe clashed. 'It got physical. It was a drunken scuffle. There is never a fight at that sort of thing so everyone was really shocked.' Following his exit from Celeb SAS, it was revealed that Harry has now joined Pause For Thought in a permanent role. He recently appeared on BBC Radio 2's long-running segment where he opened up about his religious beliefs. Joining Scott Mills live on air on Tuesday, he said: "I know that some of your listeners will know me from winning The Traitors, and I wanna know more about that next week but for now, for this Pause For Thought, I thought I'd tell you more about what makes me tick. So, I'm Harry, I'm 24, and I come from a massive family. "There's five of us children, I've got two brothers, two sisters and a mum and dad. Despite achieving something, I'm still just a normal kid from Slough who lives with his parents and sisters in a council house. "Both of my brothers have now moved out. Luckily, thanks to my mum, religion has always been a big part of my life and has helped me all the way through." He went on: "Faith has been, and it means a lot to me always and it's amazing to be a part of something bigger that is outside of myself. As soon as I could I decided I was off to North Yorkshire at the age of 16 to become an avionics technician, which is technically a helicopter engineer, which is easier to understand but it's still just as crazy as it sounds. "I'd never seen a helicopter before I left Slough, so becoming a helicopter engineer is the coolest thing ever." And speaking of his involvement in The Traitors, he said: "I was asked to go on Traitors series two, which to my surprise, I actually managed to win somehow. "Since then, it's been a rollercoaster of ups and downs and around summertime again last year, I seemed to lose myself mentally but then the thing that saved me for a second time was my faith. When I prayed, I didn't feel alone and I felt that there was something there for me just like there always has been."

Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up Directing staff Billy Billingham and Jason Fox caught Harry out performing only 10 burpee exercises when he'd been challenged to do 20 - then lied about it. He was meant to complete the set before pulling a switch. Harry said: 'Obviously I was so disheartened and so annoyed, but at the same time in the back of my head I was like, 'but it's all right though because I've made that switch, I'm here to stay'. 'I did exactly what I would do in the military. 'And that's what annoyed me so much because it was like I just hit that switch, but they'd kicked me off for it. 'So it was like, well then how can I prove to you now that I've changed? 'But then at the same time, when I look back on it and I've matured a lot now, they've probably done me a favour because I know that the next big stage was the interrogation phase.' The show was filmed in September last year. Celebrities always dread the interrogation segment and many crumble. Harry added: 'The place where I was mentally and physically, I would've definitely been broken down easy. I was easy pickings. Celebrity SAS star axed after 'lying and cheating' on show - as another quits 'So I think they actually done me a favour kicking me off the show, they probably saw that I needed to go and sort myself out. 'I didn't like the experience that much, personally, it made me angry at them and myself that I wanted to get better. 'I felt like they didn't like me. 'I absolutely hated it while I was there. 'I just want people to be able to look at me now and think that is a completely different person.'
