Dani Dyer, Gabby Allen and Emily Seebohm were announced the winners of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins 2026, after facing a gruelling final challenge and completing it.
The final saw Dyer, Allen, Seebohm, Ben Cohen, and Mack Horton face a final test of their endurance and resiliency by going through an integration. The tough experience was designed to show who had what it took to pass the course, with the recruits undergoing psychological pressure and extreme sleep deprivation to determine who should stay and who had to leave.
Cohen and Horton were ultimately deemed not to have passed the interrogation by the Directing Staff, with Chief Instructor Billy Billingham revealing the three remaining women had succeeded.
The stars have been through several weeks of gruelling training under the stewardship of the Directing Staff.

Billingham told Dyer, Allen and Seebohm: “Eight days ago you came from both sides of the world. Fourteen arrived. Three stand before us. Just because you stand on the finish line doesn’t mean you’ve passed this course”
He then added, “It’s a rare moment to say — congratulations to all three of you. You’ve passed this course.”
The trio were understandably delighted by their win, with Dyer declaring it was the “best feeling in the world” to learn she had won the series with her two co-stars.
“Every single moment was horrendous,” she admitted. “But to hear that I’d passed — it’s the best feeling in the world. If I can do this, I can do anything. I definitely am a lot stronger than what I think I am…I can’t believe I’ve actually been able to do it. I’m really proud of myself.”
After several celebrity recruits quit or were pulled out, just five remained in the final and only three completed the course.

Reflecting on how the winning line-up was made of all women, Dyer added, “I love it because we are strong women. We go through so much as women, mentally and physically.
“That final day with the interrogations and the noises, the animals in our ears, the pig noises, the scratching, it was awful. I thought I’d messed up. I thought I grassed everyone up. That was in my head. But we are strong women. We really are.”
Allen was similarly ecstatic with the result, saying, “I can’t believe that out of fourteen people, it’s us. Well, I can — because we’re boss bitches. Standing there with two women at the end meant everything to me. My whole brand is about empowering women from every walk of life.
The trio were delighted that they, as three women, were successful in spite of being underestimated by their male counterparts.

“Men are strong, but women show, time and time again, that we can do just as much. We were lifting the same weights, trying just as hard. I wouldn’t have wanted to be there at the end with anyone else. We built a bond you could never replicate.”
The Love Island star went on: “I wanted to leave knowing I’d given absolutely everything that I could, that I’d thrown myself into everything and made myself proud and my dad proud. That’s all that mattered to me.”
Allen went on to share that she was consistently surprised by Dyer, because she “held her own and never gave up” no matter how tough things became.
Danni Dyer said she was ‘really proud’ of herself after surviving the experience.

Meanwhile, Olympic swimmer Emily Seebohm shared her pride after feeling that the women on the team were singled out as the weak links: “When we were unbagged, and it was just the three of us standing there, I thought we’d been picked out as the weak ones.”
“I couldn’t have been prouder of the girls,” she added. “We spent the whole time lifting each other up and reminding ourselves how strong we were.”
The 2026 edition of the series saw contestants from Australia and the UK compete on opposing teams, with teams mixing up as recruits either dropped out or were pulled off the course for medical reasons.
Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins is available to watch on Channel 4.
