'I promised my mum I'd make her proud the day she died in the Manchester Arena attack': SAS: Who Dares Wins recruit shares his tragedy

In the heat of a Jordanian desert, all Dylan Kiss could think about was the vow he made to his beloved mother as she was tragically killed in the Manchester Arena bomb. At just 25-years-old, Dylan has known true nightmares in his life, and is now using his real world experiences to power him on as the youngest recruit on Channel 4's gruelling competition, SAS: Who Dares Wins.

Michelle, 45, was one of 22 people killed and 1,000 injured in the terror attack on Manchester Arena in May, 2017. His sister was also inside the venue that night, but miraculously survived.
