Brittany Cartwright sheds tears on Special Forces: World's Toughest Test
The 36-year-old reality star appears on season four of Special Forces, the quasi-military training TV series, and Brittany has described competing on the show as the "hardest thing" she's ever done.
During an appearance on the Detox Retox With Tom Schwartz podcast, Brittany shared: "It was the hardest thing I have ever done in my life.
"I've been very open about heights and how that terrifies me so doing different things like that, I'm proud of myself."
The reality star acknowledged that she pushed herself to her physical and emotional limits on the show.
Brittany also watched old episodes, including some featuring Tom Schwartz, her former Vanderpump Rules co-star, as part of her preparations.
She shared: "I was like, 'Wow, Tom actually was impressive on that show.' Except for that time that he had to carry … JoJo Siwa carried Tom. That's hilarious."
Asked how she ultimately fared on Special Forces, she quipped: "Let's just say I tried!"
Meanwhile, Brittany split from Jax Taylor, her husband, in 2024, and subsequently filed for a divorce.
However, the TV star previously admitted that she initially thought they would reconcile.
She told Us Weekly: "It has been such a roller-coaster deciding to separate. I really thought that we would be able to get back to a place where we could probably get back together.
"I didn't know for sure, but I really wanted to try everything I possibly could to save my marriage and keep my family together."
Despite this, Brittany suggested that the heartbreak has actually made her a stronger person.
She explained: "It's just been a roller-coaster of emotions; a lot of ups [and] a lot of downs, but I also feel like I've gotten so much stronger throughout all of this. I'm really feeling confident in my decision, and I think that a lot of people are going to be able to relate to everything I'm going through."
Brittany always felt that she would be with Jax "forever".
She said: "I always thought we would be together forever. But again, I do feel very confident in my decision and it was not a quick decision for me."

English life: Ellen DeGeneres 'has never been happier'
Ellen DeGeneres is "in her element" in rural England. The 67-year-old TV star and Portia de Rossi, her wife, swapped the United States for the Cotswolds in 2024, and the celebrity duo are loving life in their new surroundings. A source told Us Weekly: "It's a different lifestyle for her. She's very chill and in her element." DeGeneres an de Rossi had actually been contemplating a move for some time before they eventually committed to the idea. The couple - who have been married since 2008 - ultimately found their ideal home in the Cotswolds and they haven't looked back since. The insider shared: "They had visited before and looked at homes but weren't sure when they would do it. When they found the right place, they jumped on it." DeGeneres has really embraced her new lifestyle in England. The source explained: "Ellen's been farming and gardening and taking care of her animals. "Those close to her have never seen her happier." And while the couple are keen to enjoy some privacy, away from the bright lights of Hollywood, they've also been mingling with the locals. The insider said: "(Ellen and Portia) have interesting things to say. They were friendly to local people and wanted to live normal lives." DeGeneres recently claimed that "everything" is "just better" in the UK. The Tstar admitted that she was relishing her new lifestyle since making the move to England. She told broadcaster Richard Bacon: "It's absolutely beautiful. We're just not used to seeing this kind of beauty. The villages and the towns and the architecture - everything you see is charming and it's just a simpler way of life. "It's clean. Everything here is just better - the way animals are treated, people are polite. I just love it here." DeGeneres - who hosted her own TV talk show between 2003 and 2022 - explained she's been enjoying the rural lifestyle since leaving the US last year. She said: "We moved here in November, which was not the ideal time, but I saw snow for the first time in my life. We love it here. Portia flew her horses here, and I have chickens, and we had sheep for about two weeks."

Dolly Parton gives advice to Kelly Clarkson after Brandon Blackstock death
Dolly Parton has urged Kelly Clarkson to "remember the very best" of her time with Brandon Blackstock. The 79-year-old music icon has offered some advice to her friends Kelly and Reba McEntire following the death of Blackstock - who was Kelly's ex-husband and Reba's stepson - and touched on her own experiences with grief after her husband Carl Thomas Dean died earlier this year aged 82. She told Entertainment Tonight: "I think you just have to be grateful for the years that you've had with someone. 'And you just try to remember the very best of all that. And take their energy that they had given you then and kinda just recycle that and let that become a part of you. "Just honour their memory." Blackstock - a former music manager turned full-time rancher - died aged 48 from melanoma on 7 August. His 18-year-old son Seth Blackstock - who he had with first wife Melissa Ashworth Wells - recently took to Instagram to share his devastation at the passing of his beloved father and "best friend". He wrote on Instagram over the weekend: 'I lost my hero yesterday, words can't describe how proud of you I am on raising me and your 3 other kids. 'You were a father, a son, a brother, and most importantly my best friend. 'You'll have to watch me grow up from a Birds Eye view now but that's OK with me. There's no one else on this earth that I would want to be my dad because no one can be half the man you were to me. 'I'll see you everyday when the sun rises and falls. I can confidently say all the deer and elk took a sigh of relief when the best hunter I've ever known laid his rifle down for the last time.' He concluded: 'I love you so much and can't wait to throw a line in the water with you again. Love you dad. Be good or good at it -love your son Seth." Kelly, 43, is yet to address his death publicly. She and Blackstock were married for seven years before divorcing in 2022, and despite their split, Kelly prioritised his relationship with their two children, River Rose, 11, and Remington, nine, rearranging her schedule to allow them frequent visits during his illness. A source has now told UsWeekly about how she is dealing wit the fallout from his death from cancer: 'It has been draining, exhausting, emotional (and) devastating. '(But) her children have always come first. 'A big part of (her care for Brandon) was making her schedule available for transporting the children to visit Brandon.'
