For the first time in the show’s four-year history, SAS: Who Dares Wins opened its doors to female recruits.
The Channel 4 series put males against the females as 25 contestants competed to survive a brutal 10-day SAS-style training camp.
An even split of four male and four females have made the final, airing on C4 on Sunday, February 10th. Let’s get to know the finalists!

Louise – Favourite to Win
Age: 29
Hometown: South West England
Profession: Midwife
How did you cope with the harsh winter weather conditions?
“There wasn’t really a way of coping. You just had to let it be and let it happen, accepting you were wet and cold most of the time. I went to sleep most nights shivering and waking up in a sleeping bag full of condensation. If we moaned about it or let it get to us, the struggle would have been harder.”
