Celebrity SAS in chaos as four stars quit the show early
Tasha Ghouri, Chloe Burrows, Hannah Spearritt and Louie Spence quit the Channel 4 series early Four stars have quit Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins early in the 2025 series. Strictly's Tasha Ghouri and Love Island's Chloe Burrows were the latest to bow out of the military exits closely followed S Club 7 singer Hannah Spearritt and dancer Louie Spence, who quit Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins on the first day. Jason "Foxy" Fox gave the stars a dressing down. The former Royal Marine Commando and UK Special Forces soldier didn't hide his disappointment in watching Burrows and Ghouri leave after walking up a hill with their heavy rucksacks. "I don't know what the f*** people think they have come on," he told the group of celebrities. "That was a short walk up a hill. We've lost two people. Show us you've got some grit and determination." Who quit Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins early? Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins is one of the toughest reality TV shows, where the stars take part in the most gruelling phase of Special Forces selection. Filmed in Wales, there is no special or VIP treatment for the celebrities while they are participating in the course. Stripped of their luxuries, the stars face physically demanding and psychologically testing challenges. John Barrowman quit Celebrity SAS last year after two hours of filming when he was shown around the accommodation. Another early exit saw Katie Price last only one night on Celebrity SAS in 2019. Now Ghouri, Burrows, Spearritt and Spence have all followed suit in this series, by quitting without really giving the show their all. Chloe Burrows Burrows found fame on Love Island but she was determined to prove she had more to give than lounging around in a bikini. Instead, she came away saying Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins "is the worst thing I've done in my whole life". Day two had proven to be too tough for the Celebrity MasterChef star. "I can't do it," she said, whimpering. "I cannot. I'm done and done." The reality star broke down in tears as she handed over her armband. "It was too much," was the explanation she offered for choosing to leave Celebrity SAS. In a pre-recorded piece to camera, she said: "It's really hard to say what it would take for me to be done [to quit the show]. One thing I do have is determination... But I've never done anything like this in my life. I don't want to over promise and under deliver." Tasha Ghouri Tasha Ghouri, who also found fame on Love Island, made a swift exit in the second episode. "I'm not mentally here," the star said. "I'm not mentally here to do this." She quit Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins after just two episodes when filming last year, yet she went on to make the final of Strictly Come Dancing in the autumn of 2024. Having quit not long after Burrows, the two of them were reunited on-screen. "You have to be mentally strong to do this," she told the fellow quitter. In a piece to camera, Ghouri explained her mental strength didn't match her physical strength. "I would say my mental strength is stronger than my physical strength," she said. "If my body is about to fail, I have to remember, Tasha, you still gave it a go. You tried your hardest." Hannah Spearritt Spearitt was the first to hand in her armband before one of the challenges had even begun in the 2025 series. It was the first day of the selection process and they were at the Hostage Rescue location. "I'm sorry," she said. "I'm done. I'm sorry. I'm done. I've reached a point." Immediately after her exit, there were whispers among the rest of the recruits. "I think Hannah's going to regret that." Her exit came just 30 minutes into the first episode of the Channel 4 reality series. In a pre-filmed interview sequence, Spearritt said she doesn't quit easily. She said: "I'm pretty determined. I wouldn't say I give up easily. But whether I'll get to the end or not, I don't think I'd go on the first day as I wouldn't forgive myself." Louie Spence Before Spearritt quit, Spence had confessed he didn't think he would "last the night" in conversation with his fellow recruits at the accommodation. "I'm too old for this," he confided in them. "I feel like a granddad in a kids' school. This isn't my cup of tea." Spearritt had been listening when Spence made his feelings known to the group. Unlike the S Club 7 star, the Pineapple Dance Studios star attempted the hostage task alongside Love Island's Chloe Burrows but they failed. The recruits were told to think about why they were doing Celebrity SAS, sparking Spence to throw in the towel. "I want to do an immediate withdrawal," he said. Explaining why he was giving up so early on, Spence said: "I don't have the conviction. I'm not dedicated enough." The dancer was offered a chance to take his words back but he put his foot down, saying it was his time to go home. Spence went back on his word. In a pre-recorded interview, he said: "I would say I'm a survivor. I keep battling to survive. I think the worst way for me to leave the course is me to choose to leave. That would really p*** me off." Giving up on day one Chief Instructor Billy Billingham has previously shared his disappointment when people give up on day one. The DS wasn't impressed when Barrowman quit after two hours of filming. He told The Mirror last year: He gave up at the first opportunity and wasted a space that another person could have taken, so it was very disappointing. "I was absolutely disgusted, to be honest. You have a chance here to do so many great things and you just can't be bothered — he didn't even get past day one. I couldn't believe it." Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins airs on Channel 4 at 9pm on Sundays and Mondays.

Six weeks after undergoing a mastectomy following her breast cancer diagnosis, Jessie J was admitted to the hospital once again to address her ongoing complications. The musician shared in a recent Instagram Story post that she discharged herself ('I hate being in the hospital') after being assured that the symptoms she has been experiencing are not related to a blood clot in her lungs. '6 weeks post surgery and I was back in the same ward I was after my surgery,' Jessie wrote on Saturday, Aug. 2. 'Not expected or planned. I had and still have symptoms that pointed towards a blood clot on the lung. IT IS NOT A BLOOD CLOT THANK GOD.' The singer's testing revealed an infection and fluid in her lungs, but has not been explicitly detailed.

Beyoncé May Be Just One Tour Away From Making History
Beyoncé has once again shown that she's not only one of the biggest names in music, but also one of the most formidable forces in live entertainment. With the Cowboy Carter Tour now officially finished, the superstar is even closer hitting one of the rarest milestones in concert history. The Cowboy Carter Tour Grosses Over $400 Million According to Billboard Boxscore, Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter Tour brought in $407.6 million from 1.6 million tickets sold. The country trek was a commercial juggernaut, and its closing sum pushes her career touring gross to more than $1.75 billion. With less than $250 million to go, she's within arm's reach of becoming one of the only artists in history to cross the $2 billion mark in reported touring revenue. Several names, including Taylor Swift, have already managed to pass that massive figure. Back-to-Back Blockbuster Tours The Cowboy Carter Tour ranks as Beyoncé's second-highest-grossing run, trailing only her previous venture, the Renaissance World Tour. That run closed with a record-breaking $579.8 million. Together, the two back-to-back treks have become career-defining moments, and some of the most successful concert tours of all time. A Member of Touring's Most Elite Club With her latest success, Beyoncé becomes the first woman and just the fourth artist overall—t have multiple tours pass the $400 million mark. She joins the exclusive ranks of The Rolling Stones, Coldplay, and Ed Sheeran, cementing her place among the most bankable live acts of all time. Solo Tours Power Her Rise While Beyoncé has certainly found success in collaborations, especially her joint tours with Jay-Z and early career outings with Missy Elliott and Alicia Keys, it's her solo headlining treks that have generated the majority of her touring revenue. From Dangerously in Love to Renaissance, her six solo tours have ranked among her highest-grossing and most far-reaching. The Final Push May Be Coming Soon Bey's Cowboy Carter is the second installment in a planned album trilogy that began with Renaissance. With the third act expected as early as 2026, fans are already wondering whether she'll embark on another stadium-filling tour. If such a venture – which has not been announced – performs on par with her last two, another $300–$400 million in grosses could be enough to push Beyoncé past the $2 billion milestone, possibly by 2027.
