SAS: Who Dares Wins showed off the contestants taking on a number of challenges once again this evening. And hosts Ant Middleton, Jason Fox, and Ollie Ollerton were not holding back on their
troublesome recruits.
However, during the episode this evening Number 25 - Chris - was put on the spot when he was tasked with running through simulated gunfire.
At the end of the run he was given a blank gun and told to fire at the enemy - only to see a man wearing a Canadian army uniform.
After being told to “defend yourself” by Ollie, Chris ran into the fight, prompting an explosive reaction from Ollie.
After being reprimanded for his actions, Chris was pulled in to a chat with Ollie and Jason.

During this chat, Chris revealed the truth behind his continued aggression, and why he struggles to keep himself in check during the various tasks thrown at him.
He told the leaders: “I was around 16 years old, and my brother tragically died in a motorbike accident.
“At the time I was a little bit confused… I didn’t really understand my own emotions.”
After this tragic period of his life, Chris explained he turned to drugs and alcohol to cope.

Another wrote: “Aw, heck. 25 has had a really bad family time… This changes things. #SASWhoDaresWins.”
They said: “I want Chris from Newcastle to win this now after that little chat. Come on Chris!
Last week’s show focused on 31-year-old Mark, a marketing manager.
Speaking about his father’s involvement with the SAS, he explained: “My father was SAS so it’s something that I’ve always known about in the periphery of my life growing up but I knew
nothing of it.
“Watching the first four series of the show it just became my favourite show and when you’re sat at home watching it you think ‘I could do that.’
