Summary
- Gabby Allen failed her first Celebrity SAS challenge seconds in.
- The challenge involved being submerged underwater for 30 seconds.
- Allen panicked and was rescued by the crew during the task.
The eighth series of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins kicked off on Sunday, January 4, 2026, with 14 celebrities facing a modified SAS training regime. This season uniquely features two groups, one from Britain and one from Australia, competing against each other. The initial challenge involved an emergency evacuation drill where one participant from each team was lowered underwater in a plane.
Team UK's Gabby Allen, alongside Australian Olympic swimmer Mack Horton, undertook the daunting task of holding their breath for 30 seconds underwater. Despite acknowledging the risks of drowning, Allen experienced a moment of panic just seconds into the submersion. The crew intervened swiftly, recognizing her distress and rescuing her from the situation.
This early exit has left Allen reportedly furious, highlighting the intense and challenging nature of the show's operations. The series continues to test the limits of its celebrity contestants as they navigate the demanding physical and psychological trials designed by the SAS instructors.
