Celebrity SAS star axed from Channel 4 show after 'bluffing' during challenge

Send Push

Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins has descended into chaos after BBC favourite Harry Clark was axed for cheating.

In tonight's (August 11) instalment of the Channel 4 programme, marking the series' midpoint, the surviving celebrities once more faced gruelling tasks under the watchful eyes of stern instructors Mark "Billy" Billingham, Jason "Foxy" Fox, Rudy Reyes, and Chris Oliver.

But things took a dire turn for 24-year-old Harry, who shot to stardom after his spectacular victory on The Traitors in 2024, as all the directing staff questioned his dedication following his dishonesty during a trust-based exercise.

Jason explained: "I was putting pressure on six (Harry) because he wasn't really applying himself. He was saying the odd word and I was just applying pressure, applying pressure."

Chief Instructor Billy confessed: "He was there but not really as a leader and he didn't contribute anything. He made me feel you he was just f****** bluffing it."

He went on: "I gave him burpees and I stood right behind him and I started counting and he deliberately did ten."

An exasperated Chris interjected: "And he stood up there smiling like a Cheshire Cat after doing half the reps. I think he is taking the p*** out of us."

Billy concluded: "His integrity and honestly stinks, to the point for me it's unexpectable. That's how I feel right now" Doubting Harry's dedication to the programme, the DS chose to examine the footage from the burpee test to verify whether the celebrity had properly fulfilled the exercise.

Their suspicions proved correct - Harry had indeed cheated, managing only 10 repetitions, and the squad's displeasure was evident.

Senior staff summoned him for a grilling session, questioning his abilities and what he'd gained from the experience.

Yet when quizzed about whether he ever takes shortcuts or cheats, he faced a stern rebuke as the commanding officers produced CCTV evidence showing him dodging several burpees after being commanded to perform 20 consecutively.

Compelled to view the recording and tally his actual repetitions, Harry endured harsh condemnation. Harry was subsequently made to confront his teammates and confess to his dishonesty and deception.

The situation then escalated dramatically, leaving everyone stunned when they announced Harry's dismissal from the programme.

Billy glared down at Harry and bellowed: "Number six hand in your arm band to the DS now!" Harry appeared crestfallen as personnel escorted him away from view.

Speaking to the camera he revealed: "The worst possible way for me to leave the course is if they withdraw me for being so crap, that would be really embarrassing."

He continued: "It doesn't matter how far you get knocked down, as long as I can say I took every opportunity with both hands, then at least I can say what a ride I've had and be happy."

Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins is broadcast on Channel 4.
