The final of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins saw four celebrities pass the condensed SAS selection course.
Rudy Reyes proudly revealed the four successful stars on tonight's episode of the Channel 4 show, telling the delighted celebrities: "From day one, we demanded 100%. Into your tasks, into your discipline, into your teamwork. Which of you gave everything they had? That's what we demand. Congratulations. You all have passed this course. Job well done."
Last Sunday's episode saw Jonathan Broom-Edwards miss out on a place in the final, with the Paralympian taking off his armband during an hour-long beasting. His departure left Maisie Smith, AJ Pritchard, Calum Best, Ferne McCann, Ashley Cain, Jade Jones and Shannon Courtenay left to take on the dreaded interrogation challenge.
This year's series of Celebrity SAS: Who Dare Wins saw 14 famous faces take on the gruelling challenge, but TOWIE star Pete Wicks pull out of the show, after almost drowning during a stunt early on in the series, and Jennifer Ellison, Fatima Whitbread, Love Island's Amber Gill, Curtis Pritchard and Dwain Chambers also exiting before the final.
During tonight's final [October 16], Rudy announced Maisie, AJ, Calum and Ferne had all successfully completed the intense selection course, with the four emotional celebrities going on to reveal just what being part of the course meant to them in their exit interviews.
The final of the Channel 4 series saw the seven celebrities subjected to intense interrogation, with Ferne's appearance picked apart and Calum taunted over his famous father George Best - with the words 'son of' written across his head at one point.
Shannon was the first famous face to withdraw from the course, leaving six stars left to keep pushing themselves to make it to the very end.
After former footballer Ashley declared he had suffered enough, it was down to the final four to try successfully pass a stimulated danger situation - with Jade being the only celebrity not to make it through to the very final round.
AJ, Ferne and Calum all made it to the top of the summit during the final task, with Maisie cutting it fine with only 20 seconds left on the clock by the time she made it to join the others.
Thankfully for the former EastEnders actress, the instructors decided all four of the celebrities had done enough to pass the tough course.
Maisie - who is currently loved-up with singer Max George - admitted she was "over the moon" with her achievement, explaining: "I came in here with so much confidence. And then when I met everyone, I thought, I don't have a chance, but, you know, I gave 110% every day."
The star went on to reveal her most embarrassing moment was her "catastrophic belly flop into the 20 foot sea" and admitted her "darkest moment was the marksman task because I think I was out of my comfort zone. I didn't do a very good job, and I just felt very weak at that point".
Former TOWIE star Ferne was in "a state of shock" when she heard she had passed the course, admitting: "I've accomplished something like throughout my whole life, I've never felt that I've done anything credible, apart from give birth. I'm actually going to cry now."
The mum-of-one - who recently fell-out with childhood pal Sam Faiers - went on to recall how hard it had been to spend so much time away from her young daughter Sunday, saying: "That's what's been so hard. It being so all consuming, missing my daughter so much and just thinking, I've just got a push through and when she watches this one day, I think she'll say, 'my mum is an absolute queen.'
"And for me this was really important to do something away from her, but that inspires her. I just kept pushing through and I didn't quit. And I think that's what she's going to really respect and love."
The late George Best's son Calum was equally thrilled to pass the course, musing: "I'm at a point in my life now, you know, where I wanted to set just an epic challenge to dig deep, to go places I've not gone before.
"And that's what this place does. I've gone to places in my mind, my body that I've never gone to before. Like, I think I've done some epic stuff, but this is just the next level, so I'm so f***ing proud of myself."
When comparing his experience on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Win to his usual showbiz lifestyle, the reality TV star admitted: "My day to day life is spent pretty lonely. But a nice alone. I'm always by myself, I travel by myself, I live by myself, eat by myself. And then to come here and be in this confined space all day, every day, in and out, teaming up with people you might not talk to normally.
"But I really liked it because it took this kind of lone wolf thing I have in my head and put into play a camaraderie of a team, not a sports team, but a team that had to actually get some serious shit done. And I thought that was really cool."
AJ felt "absolutely epic to have passed selection", with the star - who recently 'split' from girlfriend Abbie Quinnen - admitting one hard positive of the entire experience was being away from his phone, saying in his exit interview: "The one thing that was really nice on base was actually removing myself from the social world, removing your phone.
"There were there was no distractions. The one mission was to be ready to go and to really focus on what's going to happen. And I actually really enjoyed that. But yeah, I would have liked working taps and the showers to have actually been warm and enough water so we could have all showered. That would have been helpful."
The dancer - who appeared on the Channel 4 show alongside brother Curtis - also confessed he would be up for another round, saying: "I feel like each time you put yourself in a situation where you challenge yourself, you grow, you mature, you understand yourself more . Plus, I do like pain. I'm not going to lie. I'm a sucker for punishment."
