The return of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins is music to our ears. What better reality TV is there, after all, than watching celebs put through their paces by soldiers?
“The elite team of ex-Special Forces soldiers are taking these famous faces to Wales,” a press release for the show reads. Channel 4 has described the filming location as the “hardest course yet”.
But exactly where was Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins filmed, we hear you ask? Wales is the “home of the first phase” of this series, seeing the contestants “stripped of their home comforts, families, agents and social media.”
Read on for all the details on the Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins filming locations.
Where is Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins filmed?
The episodes that have aired so far were filmed in Anglesey, an island off the northwest coast of Wales.
Previous seasons have seen contestants travel to Vietnam, Chile and Morocco – but seeing them compete in Anglesey is something of a homecoming.
“It’s beautiful, of course, but it’s unforgiving. It’s a great test ground,” the show’s chief instructor Billy Billingham told the BBC. “It’s a birthplace of the special forces, the SAS, where we do all our training in Wales.”
“You can have four seasons in one day. It sounds exotic to go to New Zealand and Australia and all these places, but it was great to come home. It offers everything we want,” he added.
