Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins was thrown into chaos after six stars were reportedly forced to drop out of after receiving serious injuries on the reality show.
The gruelling Channel 4 series is known for putting contestants through their paces as they attempt to complete the special forces selection process.
But the current series has arguably pushed the contenders too far after making TV history for the most medical discharges in the show’s history – with three stars sent to hospital in one day.

Inside sources have since revealed the punishing regime saw six stars struggle through an upcoming series of the show based in Thailand.
Some of the stars who allegedly found themselves injured through the impossible challenge included The Wanted Singer Siva Kaneswaran, ex-footballer Jermain Pennant and Paralympic cyclist Jon-Allan Butterworth.
All three contestants reportedly passed out during a marching test in which the group were forced to talk in the extreme temperatures by the SAS team while carrying heavy bags.
Led by former US Navy Recon Marine Rudy Reyes, all three men fainted at different times throughout the march and were then forced to leave the show after doctors deemed them unable to carry on, claim sources.
But they weren’t the only ones to get injured during the challenge, as they add that former Love Island star Montana Brown was left in tears after she dislocated her kneecap.
Rugby player Gareth Thomas also allegedly feared he had seriously damaged himself after pulling his hamstring muscle.
Former TOWIE star James ‘Arg’ Argent was also thought to have been medically discharged from the show after he contracted trench foot and jungle rot while camping out in Thailand.
The shock at the number of stars inflicted with injuries for the upcoming series has raised serious questions about the difficulty of the tasks and condition the contestants are challenged to endure on the show.
A source told The Sun: “They are celebrities, not soldiers. They aren’t used to the hot, harsh conditions and being pushed to their limits.
“The people who fell ill and were injured were not unfit or out of show. Siva, Jermain and Jon-Allan are all fit blokes but all individually blacked out and had heat stroke.
“James’s issues with his feet were awful too. He was in agony as they infection took hold because of the wet boots and he could suffer for months now.”
