FORMER Mount Kelly pupil and Paralympian Lauren Steadman was back on our TV screens on Monday (April 20) but this time she swapped the ballroom gowns and gym gear for military clothing.

Lauren, a Paralympian medal winner and current European Triathlon Champion, was first on our screens in 2018’s Strictly Come Dancing BBC series. She is now a contestant on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins 2020 on Channel 4. Lauren is one of 12 well-known faces who think they have what it takes to pass SAS Selection.

They will embark on the toughest test of their lives, facing a gruelling course in the challenging terrain of Scotland’s rugged West Coast. The new celebrity recruits are TV personalities Katie Price and Joey Essex; TV presenters, Anthea Turner and Helen Skelton; ballroom dancer, Brendan Cole; former Premiership Footballer, John Fashanu; Hollyoaks actress, Nikki Sanderson; Youtuber, Jack Maynard; Paralympic Athlete, Lauren Steadman; Locksmith from Rudimental ; Radio 1Xtra DJ, Yasmin Evans and former boxing champion, Tony Bellew.

With this series returning to Scotland - the homeland of the SAS - the celebrity recruits will leave their glamourous lives behind and live together in a derelict farmstead on the remote island of Raasay, where they will be exposed to Scotland’s unforgiving weather, harsh landscape and volatile seas.

Facing a series of terrifying and brutal challenges, they’ll be forced to confront surprising truths about themselves, to discover their true self. Will they have what it takes to make it through this unique version of SAS selection?

The show will run for five weeks at 9pm every Monday.
