A brand new series of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins is coming to Channel 4 next month with a huge line-up of celebrities set to take part. 14 famous faces will take on both physical and mental challenges as they are pushed to their limits in the Jordanian desert to raise money for cancer.
Love Island, Strictly Come Dancing and EastEnders stars are amongst those brave enough to attempt to pass the notoriously difficult SAS Selection test. Former 2019 Love Island winner Amber Rose Gill is part of the brand new line-up alongside former EastEnders actress Maisie Smith who played Tiffany Butcher and appeared as a contestant on Strictly in 2020.
Former footballer Ashley Cain will also take part in the military exercises for the all-important cause after losing his daughter, Azaylia Cain, at just eight-month-old after she was diagnosed with an aggressive form of leukaemia.

Speaking about his decision to do the show, Ashley paid tribute to his daughter Azaylia who died in April last year, saying: "Losing my daughter was the most difficult experience of my life.
"I think to combat trauma you need to step outside your comfort zone and see who you really are. There’s no better way to do that than on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, so when the opportunity came, I took it with both hands."
Also taking part are Brookside actress Jennifer Ellison, TV personality Calum Best, as well as Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer AJ Pritchard and his brother Curtis Pritchard who appeared on Love Island in 2019.
The Only Way Is Essex stars Pete Wicks and Ferne McCann are also taking part in the new series that will air on September 4 .
Ferne, who is newly engaged to her boyfriend Lorri Haines, said: "It just felt like the right time in my life to be challenged.
"I had no idea what to expect but I wanted to see how tough it really is. You’re stripped of everything, broken down to the point you have no choice but to build yourself back up again. It was the opportunity of a lifetime and I’m so glad I’ve done it."
Olympic sprinter Dwain Chambers, taekwondo Olympic gold medallist Jade Jones, javelin Olympic gold medallist Fatima Whitbread, boxer Shannon Courtenay and Paralympic high jumper Jonathan Broom-Edwards complete the line-up.
Former US Marine Rudy Reyes will take on his role as chief instructor once more, after stepping in for Ant Middleton.
Channel 4 reportedly severed ties with Ant over his 'personal conduct' but he said he had quit the programme as it was more like a "reality show" now.
The brand new series of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins will air on Channel 4 on Sunday, September 4 at 9pm.
