Two presenters seen on Good Morning Britain brutally turned down Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, and one of them even admitted they had “no regrets” over the snub.

Bosses for the Channel 4 programme lifted the lid on the first two celebrity contestants due to take part in the show later this year, leaving Richard Arnold to update his Good Morning Britain co-stars this Monday, September 9.

The entertainment reporter, 54, revealed who was due to join the star-studded line-up, which includes Pete Wicks, who had to withdraw from the series in 2022 following an injury. His return to the show has caused chaos backstage as he was also announced to take part in Strictly Come Dancing.

But while Richard Arnold said that he would “love” to face the army challenges on Celebrity SAS, Ranvir Singh confessed that she’d once been approached by producers for a stint in the programme.

“I think I was asked to do it once”, she told Susanna Reid and Ed Balls, “I told them ‘I don’t need that in my life right now, not right now.’

You know people who go on it say that their life has chanced afterwards like Ore [Oduba] did it, and various other people because it’s very – it exposes a lot of yourself as a human being I think.”

Ranvir added: “I was like ‘I’m happy for it all to be stayed buried for a bit.’ They don’t need to know the real me!”, prompting Ed to bluntly admit: “I said no. I have no regrets.”

This comes after Celebrity SAS bosses confirmed John Barrowman and Rachel Johnson would appear in this year’s edition of the show.

The Doctor Who star and the journalist were tipped to star in Celebrity SAS 2024 back in July, 2023, as The Sun leaked an apparent list of celebrities ready to face harsh environments in the programme’s ruthless two-week-long training course.

But soon after, it was alleged that John, 57, had thrown in the towel following a difficult first task. Claims he later dismissed in a scathing social media post, calling out tabloids.

As mentioned, TOWIE star Pete signed up for the upcoming season of the BBC One competition and was announced in the line-up last August. But in signing up for the dancing show, he’s unintentionally waged war with Celebrity SAS producers, according to recent reports.

Pete filmed for the challenge show in New Zealand for the second time, as he was forced to withdraw from the series due to broken ribs. The show is set to air this September, just as Pete is due for his Strictly debut.

The lothario’s stint in the BBC show is the second time SAS: WDW has been trumped by a rival programme. Back in 2022, MP Matt Hancock flew to the I’m A Celebrity jungle, a year before his own stint in the Channel 4 series was aired.
After the recent revelations on Good Morning Britain, it seems like Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins is becoming the talk of the town.

With celebrities like John Barrowman and Rachel Johnson set to appear on the show, the excitement is palpable. However, not everyone is jumping at the opportunity to face the grueling challenges presented by the programme.

Ranvir Singh and Ed Balls, both known for their respective careers in journalism and politics, made it clear that they had been approached to participate in Celebrity SAS in the past.
Ranvir expressed her reservations about exposing herself so publicly, stating that she was not ready to have her life laid bare for all to see. Ed, on the other hand, simply stated that he had no regrets about turning down the opportunity.

It’s interesting to see how celebrities from different backgrounds react to the idea of taking part in a show like Celebrity SAS. While some, like John Barrowman and Rachel Johnson, are eager to prove themselves in the tough training course, others prefer to keep their personal lives out of the spotlight. It just goes to show that not everyone is cut out for the intense challenges that the show has to offer.

As the new season of Celebrity SAS approaches, it will be intriguing to see how the dynamic between the contestants plays out.

With a mix of personalities from various fields, the audience can expect drama, camaraderie, and maybe even a few surprises along the way. Stay tuned for more updates on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins and other exciting television news.
Two popular television hosts recently made headlines for turning down the opportunity to participate in Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins.

The Channel 4 show, known for its grueling physical and mental challenges, approached the two presenters in hopes of adding star power to the upcoming season.

While one of them, entertainment reporter Richard Arnold, expressed his eagerness to take on the army challenges, his Good Morning Britain co-host, Ranvir Singh, revealed that she had been approached in the past but declined the offer.

During a recent segment on Good Morning Britain, Ranvir shared with her colleagues Susanna Reid and Ed Balls that she was not ready to expose herself in such a vulnerable way on national television.

She acknowledged that participating in a show like Celebrity SAS could bring about significant personal growth but decided that she preferred to keep certain aspects of her life private for the time being.

Ed Balls echoed her sentiments, stating simply that he had no regrets about turning down the opportunity when it was presented to him.

The decision of these presenters to decline the offer from Celebrity SAS highlights the fact that not everyone is comfortable with the level of exposure and intensity that comes with participating in reality television.

While some celebrities, like John Barrowman and Rachel Johnson, are eager to test their limits and push themselves to the extreme, others prioritize their privacy and choose to keep their personal lives out of the spotlight.

As the anticipation builds for the upcoming season of Celebrity SAS, viewers can expect to see a diverse range of personalities navigating the challenges of the show.

The mix of backgrounds and experiences among the contestants is sure to create a dynamic and engaging dynamic on screen. Stay tuned for more updates on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins and other television news.
