As a bag was pulled from her head by Directing Staff (DS) member Mark 'Billy' Billingham, Welsh Taekwondo athlete Jade Jones OBE, 29, was told to "take that smirk off [her] face". And it was in that moment that this year's series of Channel 4's Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins kicked off with a bang.
Over the course of seven episodes, Jade (recruit number 10) and thirteen other celebrities are faced with the most brutal selection course that the series has ever offered, run by an elite team of ex-special forces operators from the UK and USA. Read here to see all of the celebrities who are taking part.
There will be no special treatment for the celebrities. Each recruit will be tested to their physical and psychological limits, as they confront surprising truths about themselves, to discover their true selves. Not everyone will have what it takes to make it to the end of this unique version of SAS selection in one of the harshest training environments on the planet.
