OHMYGOSSIP — ‘SAS: Who Dares Wins’ will return in January, with Mark “Billy” Billingham as chief instructor.
The show will head to the jungle of Thung Ui, North Vietnam, and Billy has been promoted to lead the Directing Staff (DS) this series after spending half his decorated military career serving in the jungle.
He will be joined by returning DS, Foxy (Jason Fox), Rudy Reyes and new member of the DS team, Chris Oliver, a former Special Forces Operator.
Billy said: “Having been a DS on actual military SAS selection and Chief Instructor at the British Army Jungle Warfare Training School in Brunei, there is nobody better placed than myself to lead the recruits through this treacherous environment.
“I’m looking forward to challenging and encouraging the new recruits. However, I will not be accepting any excuses – this will be the toughest course to date!”
The six-part series will see the new DS lead 20 ordinary men and women through the punishing jungle phase of SAS selection, one of the toughest environments faced by Special Forces operatives.
Chris said: “I will bring a hard-hitting intensity to the ‘SAS: Who Dares Wins’ DS, being a fiery character with a very passionate approach to military training, with respect being at the forefront of everything I do.
“The values I intend to instil in the recruits, as part of the DS, have been forged on operations where we have lost good operators, so they had better be under no illusions – anyone who doesn’t play by the rules will pay the price.”
Rudy added: “Going to Vietnam for the first time, to film ‘SAS: Who Dares Wins’, was an emotional homecoming for me.
“My father was a US Marine who did multiple tours of duty in the Vietnam War and because of those scars inside and out I never knew him while he was alive.
“But I was born with his passion and energy to be a Warrior and to go to the edge to find out if I have what it takes.
“It was an honour to work with the gracious Vietnamese people to bring the best SAS: Who Dares Wins series yet.
“And a humble honour to tread the harsh but beautiful jungles and rivers that my father, did, and in a sense meeting him in a warrior way, spiritually.”
‘SAS: Who Dares Wins’ will air on Channel 4 next year.
