Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins star Cherry Healey went through an epic fitness transformation on the show.
The documentary maker, 43, joined this year’s lineup alongside the likes of Anthony Ogogo, Bianca Gascoigne, Marnie Simpson, Bobby Norris, among others. The TV star spoke about her experience on the programme to Daily Star.
Cherry told us: “I was covered from head to foot in bruises and cuts and scrapes, and then when I finished, I looked at myself in the mirror. I was ripped like totally ripped. I looked like Bruce Lee.

“I had veins popping out, I had muscles here, I looked like a really skinny Arnold Schwarzenegger. And I kind of really loved it.

“I wish I could have kept that physique. I mean, there’s no way I could have, because the things we did were just insane. But I looked in the mirror and I thought this is probably the last time I’ll ever see myself looking like this.
“I was absolutely ripped, and I took pictures of all my bruises and sent it to all my friends and family. I felt really powerful with the new physique as well.”

This 2024 series was shot in New Zealand which made it even tougher for the star-studded cast as the location featured sub-zero temperatures. Chief Instructor Billy Billingham commented: “As our course progresses, the standards expected will never falter.
“From the very first second, the recruits will be expected to give 100%. Anyone not doing so will be gone before they have time to make their excuses. Our time is invaluable – we will not waste it on anyone not worthy.”

DS Chris also added: “As a former Royal Marines mountain leader, I know firsthand what it takes to operate in a cold weather environment where temperatures plummet below zero in a flash. Even the most basic tasks drain every ounce of your energy, you cannot operate alone. Teamwork will be essential for survival.
“New Zealand is like Wales on steroids. It’s got it all, making this the most challenging course to date. It will truly test the celebrity’s determination to succeed.”
Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins will air on Channel 4, every Sunday and Monday from 22 September at 9pm.
