Fatima Whitbread branded Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins 'legend' as she shares heartbreaking past

Fatima Whitbread was subbed an instant legend by viewers of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins as she stormed the first day of the gruelling experience, before sharing painful secrets from her past with the no nonsense instructors.

The hit Channel 4 show, which has been putting famous faces through the ringer for a number of years now, with Olympic legend Fatima on the line-up for the new series, alongside the likes of EastEnders and Strictly star Maisie Smith, TOWIE favourite Pete Wicks and Love Island winner Amber Gill.

At the age of 60, Fatima is the oldest of this year's celeb recruits by some stretch but was the most calm and collected when they were given a baptism of fire to their Who Dares Wins experience when they were locked in a gas chamber before having to find an alternative exit. While many of her younger counterparts were left massively distressed by their ordeal, Fatima somehow managed to keep composure and erven answered that she was 'a soldier in the SAS' when she was asked for her occupation by the instructor.
