It has been revealed that John Barrowman, the beloved Torchwood star, did not last long on the latest season of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins. In fact, he shockingly quit after just one task, leaving the other contestants and viewers stunned. The show, which follows celebrities as they take on intense military training and challenges, featured a star-studded lineup including Strictly Come Dancing's Pete Wicks and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's sister, Rachel Johnson.
According to comedian Shazia Mirza, who spoke to the press before the show's launch, Barrowman voluntarily left the competition after an ice bath challenge. Apparently, the entire group failed the task, but it was the added torture of diving headfirst into a freezing ice pack with their clothes on that pushed Barrowman over the edge. "F*** this," he thought, and promptly handed in his armband. This all happened within the first two hours of being in camp.
Rachel Johnson, who also spoke to the press, confirmed Barrowman's quick departure, saying he left after just two hours. She explained that he participated in the first day's activities but ultimately decided to withdraw from the competition while they were touring the accommodation. This was supposed to be Barrowman's TV comeback after he faced accusations of exposing himself on the set of Doctor Who, but it seemed that the grueling challenges of the show were too much for him to handle.
Last year, there were reports that Barrowman had exited the show early, but he addressed them on social media, urging people to "watch the show and see the truth" instead of spreading unsubstantiated information. He also emphasized that the cast stands by each other and that the public should not believe everything they hear without knowing the facts.
Barrowman is not the only celebrity to quit Celebrity SAS after just a few hours. In the previous season, Louie Spence was also unable to handle the intense conditions and rigorous training, leaving the competition after just 24 hours. It just goes to show that this show is not for the faint of heart.
The sixth season of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins will be airing on Channel 4 every Sunday and Monday starting September 22 at 9pm.
