Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins lineup including Traitors star
From a Traitors winner to a former footballer, 14 famous faces will be put to the test in the new series.
The stars will endure special forces training in an attempt to make it through SAS selection with the programme showing viewers the gruelling tasks it takes to get there.
Here's what we know about this year's lineup and how to watch the new series.
A post shared by SAS: Who Dares Wins (@sas_whodareswins)
The following celebrities will take on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins this year:
Former Watford player Deeney said: 'I'm at a crossroads in my life, so I'm hoping the course can highlight the good and bad in me and hopefully we'll see at the end, that the good outweighs the bad.
'I'm sure the DS (directing staff) will get me irritated very quickly, but they will also know how to nurture and to reshape and probably help me along the way.'
Ghouri, who was born deaf and is the series' first deaf celebrity contestant, said: 'I'm very excited to actually take on the course and just go for it, push myself and really challenge myself.
'I also want to show people that having a disability makes you no less able – we can also push ourselves, and do crazy challenges if we put our mind to it.'
Media personality Loos, who is best known for being Sir David Beckham's former assistant and for claiming that he had an affair with her, will also join the special forces training along with Michaella McCollum, who made headlines in 2013 after being imprisoned in Peru for drug smuggling charges, now known as one of the 'Peru Two'.
Drag artist and DJ Bimini said: 'People in the UK love to debate gender like it's a concept, not a lived experience. It gets reduced to headlines and toilet talk. I'm doing this to remind them that behind every opinion is a human being.
'The course, the SAS and the Army have got a very masculine stereotype and I've got both elements of masculine and feminine and that's my superpower. Vulnerable, raw, and stronger than ever.'
The celebrities will be taken to Wales where they will immerse themselves in special forces training, led by chief instructor Billy Billingham and his team of directing staff (DS) which includes Jason Fox or 'Foxy', Rudy Reyes and Chris Oliver.
Billingham said: 'This course is not an attendance course, the bar is set high and will not waiver.
'Every recruit is a volunteer who chose to step into our arena. Although many will start, very few will finish and even less will pass. This is not for the weak minded or faint hearted.'

The series will be split into eight one-hour episodes and will be available to watch on Channel 4 every Sunday and Monday from 9pm.
The first episode of the 7th series will start on Sunday, August 3.
Former Love Island star Georgia Harrison, 29, and champion boxer Lani Daniels, 36, were the two recruits to complete the latest series of the Channel 4 show.
The finale saw the final four – Harrison, Daniels, former professional boxer Anthony Ogogo and reality TV Star Bianca Gascoigne – face an intense interrogation by a specialist team where they had to pretend they had been caught behind enemy lines deep in the New Zealand wilderness.
