Singer Gareth Gates was declared the winner of this year's Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, proving himself the king of fans' hearts through his commitment to the gruelling course. He was the only one of the five famous faces - former health secretary Matt Hancock, TV personality Danielle Lloyd, Olympic track and field athlete Perri Shakes-Drayton and Love Island star Teddy Soares - to pass.
The 39-year-old showed us exactly what that looks like after the show as he posted a clip of himself looking utterly spent and unable to walk. Taking to Instagram on Monday, he posted a clip of himself crawling along a hotel corridor shortly after being declared the winner of the series. He was overcome with emotion, and couldn't help but laugh as he was praised by the directing staff.
He had to push himself to his limits during the show, and was joined in the final three by Matt Hancock and Danielle Lloyd. During his gruelling resistance to interrogation challenge, he managed to maintain his story throughout and was praised by the umpire for being 'quite difficult to get upset with'.
The one final test of endurance saw the three recruits dragging tyres, carrying logs and jerry cans in full kit. For the last part, each recruit had to hang from a bar suspended in the air for as long as they could. Gareth managed the longest at one minute 20 seconds, and said afterwards that it was a chance for him to prove to himself that he was strong and could make it to the end and win.
He was roundly praised for his performance on the show by fans and competitors alike, with one follower commenting that he '100% deserved to win' and another calling his performance 'outstanding'. The series is available to stream now on Channel 4's catch-up service, and we can all witness Gareth's triumphant victory.
