Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins viewers all say same thing as three candidates triumph in final

It's been a gruelling series of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins with some of the 14 candidates dropping out no sooner had they put on their armbands.

But on Monday, August 25, those who had successfully passed the gruelling course and impressed the leaders were finally revealed with footballer Troy Deeney, X Factor star Lucy Spraggan and Peru Two member Michaella McCollum all triumphing.

The seventh series of the Channel 4 show was filmed in Wales and included the likes of Love Island star Adam Collard, Drag Queen Bimini and Traitors winner Harry Clark, who was axed from the series after cheating on a task.

The series sees the physical and mental capabilities of celebrity contestants tested to the extreme as they attempt to pass the notoriously difficult SAS Selection test and many handed in their armbands within hours of starting the course, including SClub star Hannah Spearritt and Strictly Come Dancing's Tasha Gourhi.

The finale saw the remaining candidates being interrogated as they were taken 'hostage'. Viewers rushed to X to choose their winner with many agreeing that Lucy definitely deserved it.

One viewer said: "Lucy for the win She has been brilliant." A second said: "Lucy has done the best out of everyone." A third agreed saying: "I'd just pass Lucy."

But others believed the three finalists deserved to win, with one saying: "To pass interrogation you deserve to pass the course."

On announcing the news that Lucy. Michaella and Troy had all passed, Chief Instructor, Billy Billingham said: “This course is designed to push you through barriers you would never imagine. To strip you back, physically, mentally and emotionally. This course is brutal. Our world is brutal. It will always come down to one question that we will ask ourselves. Would we have that person stood next to us.

"Number 3, 4 and 10. Congratulations, you have all passed this course. Well done. Seriously guys, good effort, that was a tough, tough course.”

Lucy admitted she felt "emotional" when learning she'd succeeded. She said: "It was about 9 million times worse than I thought it was going to be, and I thought it was going to be bad. I really did! It's utterly traumatising, but unbelievably rewarding. It’s a once in a lifetime thing because I will never do that again!”

Michaella burst into tears on hearing she'd made it to the end. She said: "I really surprised myself. I didn't expect that. I didn't have any intentions of making it to that point, so when I did, I was really proud."

Irish Michaella, was one of two women caught at Lima Airport in 2013 with 11kg of cocaine worth £1.5m while attempting to board a flight to Spain and sent to prison.

Now 32, she said after her Celebrity SAS win: “In my life, I’ve made so many mistakes, and it’s led me to stay in my comfort zone way too much. I think this is something so challenging, and something I never thought I could possibly do. Learning that I’m capable of doing that would feel quite amazing.”

Troy added of his win: “What an experience! When I saw it was just me, Lucy and Michaella, I thought we were the ones who hadn’t made it. What a relief! Unusual word, but cathartic, that’s how I’d sum it up."
