The Drag Race UK 2021 runner-up took part in the latest series of Channel 4\u2019s Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins<\/a>, alongside fellow celebrities including musician Lucy Spraggan, dancer Louie Spence, rapper Lady Leshurr and former Love Island star and fitness coach Adam Collard<\/a>.<\/p>\n In the gruelling show, stars take part in a modified version of SAS training, where they are culled by the directing staff or able to quit themselves if they are finding the tasks too difficult. Those who successfully make it through the training are declared the winners. <\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s something that\u2019s so out of my comfort zone that I\u2019d not normally do, ever,\u201d Bimini explained on the Good Vibrations podcast. <\/p>\n \u201cIt was [also] at a time where I was going through a lot of personal changes \u2013 I was moving management, I was going through some personal things in my life, and I think I needed something to focus on.<\/p>\n \u201cThis was a challenge, and I love a challenge\u2026 so I just went for it.\u201d<\/p>\n Bimini suggested that the mental challenges of the show were more difficult than the physical tasks, in many respects. <\/p>\n \u201cSome people who maybe weren\u2019t the most physically fit did really well in the show, because I think if you\u2019ve got that grit and tenacity and the mental drive to keep going, you\u2019ll just keep going,\u201d they said. <\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s high-pressure, and I know people will probably go like, \u2018Oh it\u2019s fabricated,\u2019 but it is not \u2013 what you\u2019re seeing is actually not as bad as it was!\u201d<\/p>\n They revealed they were still in a WhatsApp group with their former co-stars: \u201cIt\u2019s nice to have built that, and I think the reason we did is because we got thrown into something that is quite unique, and we needed to have each other to get through it.\u201d<\/p>\n Before appearing on the show, Bimini spoke about how they wanted to push back against gender stereotypes and traditional notions of \u201cstrength\u201d while taking part. <\/p>\n \u201cThroughout my life, I\u2019ve always enjoyed a physical challenge,\u201d they said, \u201cwhether it was dancing, yoga, fitness, pole dancing\u2026 I like the athleticism there. <\/p>\n \u201cSo going into it, I knew I could probably do the physical challenges, it was whether I could do the mental [ones],\u201d they explained during the Good Vibrations interview. \u201cBut as a solid member of the LGBTQ+ community\u2026 we are very resilient. Very strong. We\u2019ve been through a lot to get to where we are now.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n They continued: \u201cThat\u2019s kind of what gets me through in a way, because there is resilience within our community and I think I have that built in\u2026 I think most queer people do.\u201d<\/p>\n Elsewhere in the interview, Bimini spoke about their DJ shows and offered some clues about their next single, having recently released a remix of the 2004 Anastacia hit, \u201cLeft Outside Alone\u201d.<\/p>\n The full episode of Roisin O\u2019Connor\u2019s Good Vibrations <\/a>will be available to listen to on all streaming platforms from Friday 29 August.
