To get us out. You wanna have a look that way.
I'm going to have to do what they are doing.
Come on, then, stand up, walk towards me.
I'm going to have to do what they How was that? You look all right.
I'm going to have to do what they SHE SIGHS
I'm going to have to do what they Oh, mate. Kneel down here.
Face sort of that way, into what little wind there is.
I'm going to have to do what they You seem quite composed there.
More composed than these young whippersnappers.
I'm going to have to do what they You been gassed before?
I'm going to have to do what they SHE CHUCKLES
I'm going to have to do what they are doing.
All right, let's go. Let's go, come on, then.
I'm going to have to do what they are doing.
I can't believe we've just clone that. No. Well clone, everyone.
I dived out a window like fucking Rambo.
Honestly, really proud of everyone here.
I'm going to have to do what they are doing.
An eye opener for me, coming to do this,
because I didn't realise how much damage I've done to my body until I've come here.
I'm going to have to do what they Yeah, well, you're a young guy,
so you've got so much more possibilities.
I get frustrated sometimes. I can do stuff, don't get me wrong.
Fuck me, you can. I'll be good at certain things.
But at the end of the clay, it's just, as you get older,
I'm going to have to do what they that's what happens.
I'm going to have to do what they are doing.
Throughout the course, the instructors will assess the performance of the recruits,
focusing on those who have highlighted themselves to the DS.
I'm going to have to do what they are doing.
I'm going to have to do what they All right, so clay number one,
we found out who some of these cats were.
Number two. For me, his fucking fitness is diabolical.
The gas, he suffered from that. It did sort of hit him hard.
I'm going to have to do what they Number 11 probably by far the worst.
I'm going to have to do what they just went to complete rat shit.
OK, then came in number five, little legend.
I'm going to have to do what they No problem at all, to be honest.
I'm going to have to do what they Ancl I said, "What do you do?"
I'm going to have to do what they Ancl she said, "I'm a soldier."
I went, "Say again?" She goes, "I'm in the SAS."
I thought, fucking, what are you on? LAUGHTER
She came out, looked like she'd been fucking brought up on gas.
She was, like, literally one of most unaffected.
My expectations - I didn't think she would last this long. Yes.
She's 40 years older than most of them. Yes.
I'm going to have to do what they I just want the best for her.
I'm going to have to do what they But I wanna know more. Let's do it.
I'm going to have to do what they are doing.
I'm going to have to do what they Recruit number five!
I'm going to have to do what they Number five.
I'm going to have to do what they are doing.
I'm going to have to do what they Yes, staff.
I'm going to have to do what they are doing.
All right, five, this way. Good hustle.
I'm going to have to do what they Good hustle.
Going to put your hands right on this wall.
I'm going to have to do what they are doing.
I'm going to have to do what they Ancl forward now.
I'm going to have to do what they are doing.
I'm going to have to do what they Ancl shift to your right. Sit down.
I'm going to have to do what they are doing.
I'm going to have to do what they DOOR CLOSES
I know it's only day one, but what in...
Through your eyes, how do you think you're doing?
I'm going to have to do what they Yeah... Yeah, it's hard.
You don't expect it not to be, but...
I'm going to have to do what they SHE SIGHS
I'm going to have to do what they ..dig deep. See what you got.
I'm going to have to do what they are doing.
I'm going to have to do what they You're doing fucking well.
I'm going to have to do what they Oh, OK. Thank you.
I've known you since a fairly young age.
You were like an inspiration to me growing up. Thank you.
So I don't really know a lot about you other than you're
I'm going to have to do what they an amazing athlete.
Just go back to where you feel comfortable to talk about.
I wanna hear about ya. OK. Well, I'll start from the beginning, then.
I was abandoned as a baby - and some would say left to die -
I'm going to have to do what they in a flat, in London.
Ancl a neighbour heard that baby crying for a couple of clays
and didn't see anybody coming or going. Wow.
So she reported it and the police obviously came along,
banged the door down, rescued the baby
and it got taken into hospital, where I stayed for six months.
I'm going to have to do what they are doing.
Spent the first 14 years of my life in children's homes.
So I didn't have any visits, I didn't have any -
obviously, any birthday cards or anything to sort of
indicate that there was anybody out there.
I was fortunate to find the love of the Whitbread family at 14.
How did the Whitbread family find you, then?
I'm going to have to do what they How did that come about?
I'm going to have to do what they Sport was, er...was my saviour.
I decided I was going to go to the athletic clubs where we lived.
Saw this lovely tall blonde guy over there
and he was throwing this spear and I thought,
"Wow, I'm going to go and have a look at that."
He said, "No, young lady, wait for the javelin coach, Mrs Whitbread."
I'm going to have to do what they are doing.
So that's how I met her. She started saying...
"You've got a bit of talent," she said.
"Why don't you ask your mum and clad to come up?"
I'm going to have to do what they Ancl he said, "Don't you know?"
He said, "She lives in the children's homes."
Within a few weeks after that she said, would I like to
go and spend a week's summer holiday with the family?
I'm going to have to do what they I said, "Yeah, I'd love that?"
Ancl that's how I met the boys - my brothers.
I'm going to have to do what they They were only two and four.
So they've only ever known me as big sis. And...
Yeah, I mean, it wasn't like roses instantly for any one of us -
I'm going to have to do what they we had to work at it.
But, yeah, I mean, we have become a really good family.
I'm going to have to do what they are doing.
You had an amazing clay today. Thank you.
Listen, your mindset's amazing, and that's really 90% of this
and you'll know that. Some of these are young kids, you know?
Don't try and compete too much with these people.
I'm going to have to do what they I'm not trying to do that.
Keep fucking doing what you're doing.
You put a lot of people to shame, to be honest. Really?
I didn't see it like that, but, yeah.
You're going to be teaching them in there a thing or two.
I'm going to have to do what they You know you will.
Because of your life experience and what you've been through
and the resilience that you've built up.
I'm going to have to do what they Guard!
I'm going to have to do what they DOOR OPENS
I'm going to have to do what they are doing.
I'm going to have to do what they Stand.
I'm going to have to do what they are doing.
I'm going to have to do what they Step back.
I'm going to have to do what they Hands together.
I'm going to have to do what they are doing.
Finding Margaret, my adoptive mother,
was the best thing that happened to me.
I'm going to have to do what they It enabled me to become...
I'm going to have to do what they ..humanised again.
I'm going to have to do what they You know what?
Do you know that I grew up in a boy's home, too?
I'm going to have to do what they Did ya? You know that feeling, then?
I'm going to have to do what they I sure do.
In a way that I hadn't lived a life with love and security.
I'm going to have to do what they are doing.
I'm going to have to do what they Not too bad, huh?
I'm going to have to do what they But you're amazing. So are you.
I'm so proud of you. I'm proud of you, too.
I've matured into a woman now and I've got a son of my own, Ryan.
I'm going to have to do what they How you doing, mother hen?
I'm going to have to do what they Yeah, good. Right.
I'm going to have to do what they How, was it? Good.
Ancl the most important thing for me was to be able to be
I'm going to have to do what they a good parent.
I'm going to have to do what they And, yeah, I'm proud about that.
It's my greatest achievement to date.
I'm going to have to do what they are doing.
Sorry, ladies.
Well done, guys.
It's all yours.
I've got to do this. Sorry, I'm actually getting my tits out.
You won't believe this. We'll just face away.
Who wants to fucking go.
O0...
O0.
The recruits are nearing the end of their first day of selection,
and of the 14 recruits who begun,
still 14 remain.
Right!
Oh, nothing really I just thought I'd say "Right" in
a really authoritative way that...
I've got nothing to say and... You know what I mean?
I proper turned around, I didn't even think it was you that said it.
Are you getting me confused with a really good looking DS?
Yeah. Cos I look like his After burn.
LAUGHTER
He's a unit. He's a fucking big...
His arms are hench. Yeah, and he's fucking wide, ain't he?
He's a fucking chunk. I love the way he jogs, you know?
I wish I could jog like that.
Hasn't Billy got lovely eyes?
Jen's legit on heat at the moment. I am.
Let's go. Get to the fucking square now. Hurry up!
Selection is designed to make you feel you're not in control,
cos that keeps you on your toes.
All right, let's go.
Cover down on your numbers. Let's go.
We want to see if these recruits
have got the minerals to stick it out from the beginning.
I talk about being switched on.
I gave you simple instructions.
I know you've heard it from the DS,
that water discipline is paramount
for this hostile environment.
So, right now, take out your water bottles, put them out in front.
Due to the extreme heat and risk of dehydration,
the recruits have been instructed to keep their water bottles full
at all times.
Open them up.
Pour that over your head.
Pour it over your head.
Pour that over your head.
Over your head? You're lucky.
Put yours away.
Put them away.
You need to turn it on.
Police each other.
And for damn sure have your water.
Am I understood? Yes, Staff.
So, if we cannot follow simple instructions,
we're going to teach you by the numbers.
I want you to count together, 20 press ups.
Get there.
As three recruits fail to keep their bottles topped up,
all the recruits will be punished?
Down.
Up. One.
Hold it on the up.
Down. Up. Two.
Do not moan.
Down. Up. Three.
Down. Up. Four. Down.
The most important lessons in life are taught through set backs,
failure and pain.
All the way down, 7.
Down. Up. 17.
Get off your knees, 7. Get the fuck off your knees.
We're using bee stings
in order to teach and ingrain some important lessons
within the recruits.
Get your feet moving.
And believe me, they won't forget. They will learn.
Next, the recruits must carry a partner
and run laps around the parade square.
Come on, then, let's see some fucking effort.
Get her up!
Ready?
How much do you weigh?
Fucking pathetic. Let's go, go, go, go.
Good effort.
Yes, go on, Pete.
Yes.
Well done.
Being fresh in the public eye, it's a lot to cope with.
I can't...
I've had to deal with a lot of nasty things that people have said.
Ancl as much as I always thought previously
that I didn't care about what people thought of us,
you do care a little bit.
Come on, keep pushing, keep pushing, we're nearly there.
Halfway.
PANTING
Just keep going.
Let's go, Seven, they're waiting on you.
I... Ah... Ah...
The recruits must run on the spot
until Number 7, Amber, completes her circuit.
Get in the fucking square now. Get in.
Knees up, Number 2, knees up. Knees up.
The moment a recruit starts feeling
sorry for themselves cos they're in pain,
it's a downward spiral.
OK, Team One and Team Two on me, over here.
Now, let's go.
Team One lined up here.
Right, what I wanna see is the whole team across this.
Let's go.
Get there, Five.
Good work, Five.
I wouldn't change anything that's gone on in my life
because it's added to me being a stronger person inwardly.
I'm a great believer in my own ability.
Ancl also, I am you know,
my own motivator and I'm quite self-driven.
Get across. Good.
Do not drop. Let's go!
Do not drop. I can't.
Pitiful.
Back on your spots. Fucking pathetic.
Come on, then, let's go.
This is pissing me off.
Right. I'm telling you, right,
get your fucking hands off your hip.
Stop being pathetic.
You ain't on fucking Love Egg Island now.
Let me tell you right.
Don't stand around with your fucking attitude,
cos I'm clone with it. Do you understand me?
Yes, Staff. If you don't wanna be here, fuck off.
This shit was fucking pathetic!
Cover down in your accommodations. Dismissed.
Go. Disappear.
Move! Or you'll be back out again!
Are you all right, Amber?
You can see I can't do it. It's not as if, like, I'm not trying.
I just can't be arsed. We've all got different strengths.
You know, we're not going to have good upper body strength
like someone who's a professional athlete.
Fucking beast. Fucking beast.
Fucking beast. Beast. No.
I can't wait for the evening to have the heat just fuck off.
Maybe all I need to do is have a poo and then I might actually improve.
Lord, I'm praying to you up above,
please make some movement in my bowels.
Babe, we're in your backyard, we're in Jerusalem,
help a girl out. just let her...
Ah, I just can't fucking do it.
Recruits!
With all your kit, on the parade square.
I want all the recruits on their numbers.
Let's make it happen.
Hurry UP-
First clay down,
not impressed at all.
This is an opportunity to train.
Really train, and it starts right there.
You may be athletes, you may be famous, whatever,
but you're not working the muscle that is most important,
which is right here.
We need to turn that around.
Two-man front, everyone else cover down behind.
That means you're head and shoulders go behind
the head and shoulders of the recruit in front of you.
Yes, Staff.
All right, make it happen.
On me.
That's it, nice pace, guys.
All right, stay with me.
To get to the next task,
the celebrity recruits must run 2km,
carrying 35lbs of weight on their back.
Keep moving.
I learned how to fight in the streets of the Bronx.
So I grew up as
a kid getting jumped, having to fight back.
Let's go, quickly, move.
I remember there were times when me and my brother,
we were back-to-back with each other, fighting people off of us.
All right, let's pick it up, stay together.
But as I got into my teens,
I learned how to control my aggression.
Pump your legs, let's go.
By the time I got into the military, it was just normal for me.
I can't, I can't... I wanna, I wanna stop.
Fighting is an integral part of being an operator
and there will be no exceptions for the celebrities.
One foot in front of the other, just look at that.
After a gruelling 25 minutes,
the recruits will now undertake one of the most violent tasks
on the course.
You're about to face probably the ultimate challenge
of courage.
We call this milling.
You'll go toe-to-toe,
and whoever you're facing is your enemy.
We don't know if they're male, female or what.
It doesn't fucking matter. The enemy is the enemy.
You're going to fucking fight,
and you're going to fight hard,
like your life depends on it.
Number 7 and Number 5.
Stepping up to fight is Number 5, Fatima,
paired up against Number 7, Amber,
the weakest-performing recruit so far.
You wanna prove everybody wrong, right?
Here's your chance to do it.
You know, you've got these Love Island stereotypes,
so that I'm not that smart
and I'm not a strong human being.
OK, well, if that's what do you think about me,
well, I'm going to prove you wrong.
OK, fucking beat Number 7 through.
Fucking punch her straight up the centre, right?
You need to take her out.
This literally, it makes me feel physically sick.
Like the thought of fighting.
Stand here, Number 5.
Stand by.
Fight!
Go! Fight, Number 7! Throw some punches.
Keep fighting.
Well clone.
Keep fighting. Keep fighting. Big right here.
Number 7, Amber, takes an early lead.
Go for it, well clone.
Get in the fight, Five! Bang.
But recruit Number 5, Fatima, is quick to fight back.
Keep fighting.
Keep fighting. Finish her.
Finish her.
Finish her!
Fight back, Number 7.
Stop!
Good effort, Number 5. Good effort, Number 7.
We have two fucking warriors.
Excellent.
Thank you. Christ, that was a scrap.
You put me down.
You did all right, girl.
Next is Number 3, TV personality Callum...
11. Rapid.
...pitted against world champion boxer, Number 11, Shannon.
How am I going to hit him?
You've got to do it, it's a mind-set.
Put your head in the game.
Like you fucking mean business, we're going to war.
I don't think anyone on this course
is going to be a professional fighter.
So I'm not going to let my hands go and hurt someone.
But I'll do enough to protect myself.
Can I just stand there and let him hit me?
No. If you do not fight, you fail.
Stand by.
Fight...
Fight. Fucking fight.
That's not fighting is it, Number 11?
Hit me back. Go on. Hit me back.
Hit him back. Hit him back, Shannon.
You'll be here all fucking clay, you need to fight.
Throw some fucking punches.
Stop. Move back into the middle here.
You go forward til we tell you to stop.
No matter what you think, that is your orders.
Ancl that is what needs to be clone.
This is not an exhibition, you will fucking fight.
Do you understand me? Hit me back.
Shut the fuck up. Do you understand me?
Fight...Fight.
Take it out.
Destroy the fucking enemy, now.
That's it.
Take it out.
Stop!
Stand up.
After refusing to fight,
Number 11, Shannon, has failed the task.
You're a fucking loser, Number 11.
That's the losers Bergen, get behind it, where you belong.
You all right? Yeah.
Fight.
Good stuff, hands up. Let's go.
To be in the special forces, you must fight.
Not even be prepared to fight, you must fight
and we don't care what the enemy looks like.
The mission is counting on you to do your job.
This is what I'm looking for.
This is what it's about.
Nice work, let's get in there.
Keep going forward, 12.
Instant and willing obedience to orders.
Discipline.
That's the essential bedrock of Special Forces.
Next up actress, Number 1, Jennifer Ellison...
2-
...is paired with Number 2, Pete.
Don't fucking shake your head.
You don't get a choice of your enemy.
Just focus, all right?
Yeah, I hear ya, I hear ya. You know know what?
This is a mission.
She might surprise ya.
I hope so.
It sounds really macho and all that sort of stuff,
but I just don't know if I could fight a bird.
I mean, my mum, she's literally the most amazing person.
You know, the idea of anyone ever laying hands on her,
I just, I don't like the idea of that at all.
You know what to do.
JC, get the fuck here.
I'm all for equal opportunities and everything
but I would be, like, a little bit scared fighting a fella
cos they're stronger than you, they're bigger than you.
This ain't a fucking choice.
I'm going to end up having to chin a bird, ain't I?
Fight.
Keep fighting.
Stop. Pete, Pete!
Stop. Get up.
Get up! Come on.
Get up, Number 1.
Fuck. Get up. Stand here.
Good effort. Get over there.
Do your glove. Go.
On, my God. Keep fighting. This is brutal.
I punched her in the back of the head. You had to, you had to.
Take a breath, take a breath, take a breath.
I'm so sorry. Don't be upset, come on. I'm so sorry.
How many times... MUFFLED
I'm so sorry. Don't be stupid.
Stand up.
It's not fucking nice, is it? Is it?
ALL: No, Staff.
Look at mejC. It's not nice, is it?
No, Staff. It isn't, is it?
It's actually fucking horrendous.
There's a lot of things we don't fucking like,
but we have to do it. It's not vindictive.
Let me fucking remind you that.
Look at me when I say that.
When I say go, disappear to your bergens
and put them on your back. Rapid.
Go!
You all right, Jen?
Shannon, I know it's not needed, but can I have a hug? Please?
Let me hug you back.
Cal, don't even worry about it.
It was shit, it was horrible, but we all had to do it, OK?
Yeah.
Can I have some of the juice please, after?
Yeah, of course you can.
Cheers, girl.
Ledge, cheers babe. Yeah, I don't mind it a little bit juicy.
Oh, perfect.
Do we get dessert?
No. No?
You get another potato.
Well, it's like a bread and butter pudding.
Little bit of cake or something.
I could murder a chocolate brownie right now.
Wow, what a fucking clay.
All right, gents, so this is the end of Phase 1.
What have you got on milling, Billy?
I thought to keep the match as equal as we could,
I chose Number 5 and Number 7.
You know, Number 7's a totally non-aggressive type person...
To be fair to her, she did all right. All right.
Better than I was expecting.
Pulled out Number 11,
disappointed with the fight, to be honest.
She just wouldn't do what I asked her to do.
Number 2 suffered from that.
He didn't like it. You could see on his face.
"I'm fighting a woman, scared..."
He made a drama of it, if I'm honest. Yeah.
It pissed me off a little bit.
Yeah. I think we should bring in 2, especially after...
I thought about two as well, yeah.
Good to go? Let's do it.
Recruit Number 2!
2. Babe, you got this. OK.
Go on, babe.
Double time.
Staff. All right, my man. Follow me.
So many people are saying "he's a ladies' man."
Pick up on this here.
This is just ridiculous news.
Yeah.
Here we go, this way.
Small step.
You all right?
I'm good, Staff, thank you.
Is this like your worst nightmare?
Sat here right now?
Yeah, it is, yeah.
Is it really? Yeah. Why?
Erm...
I don't like talking about me.
You don't like talking about you? No. Why not?
Just... I just don't. No? That's not how you come across.
You know, I'm not going to lie,
we've just looked at some stuff about you, cos I don't know you.
And it's all about ladies' man,
all that sketch.
Do you wanna tell us a bit about that?
Erm... I've spent most of my life single.
Pretty much all my life, so I haven't been particularly good
when it comes to relationships.
I'm ain't very good with commitment
and I ain't very good with getting close to people.
I don't... I don't really do that sort of stuff.
I ain't very good with emotion stuff, really.
I only know you through what I see through social media,
I don't judge you. just tell us about growing up
and what was that like? And where you were from and all that shit.
Family originally from London, moved out to Essex,
mum and clad divorced at 11.
My dad's... I didn't really see much of him after that,
he sort of left the country and worked away quite a bit.
Then I just started work pretty much at 16
and I got myself into quite a bad rut in the city.
I was out every night,
but it was all about making money, so I thought that's what kind of...
As it is in the city, ain't it? Yeah. When you're young.
That's what kind of bought happiness, but it don't.
Ancl then you sort of develop a persona, I think,
which is what I think most people know me as now.
Which is like a party boy, I smoke, I drink,
I clone that all the time.
I smoke far too much. I drink far too much.
I haven't been to a fucking gym in seven years.
I could tell that. No shit, Sherlock. Yeah.
Audi's...
Even being here for a clay or so, it's been a wake up call
for the fact of how much I've abused my body, I think.
So, essentially, from what I hear, it sounds like you've created an
image for yourself, that you're kind of living in.
The tattoos, the drinking,
the tough guy persona, the different women.
Do you feel like that's an image,
but there's somebody else living inside of you?
I think this whole persona thing and being a certain way
is because I've got a fear of people leaving or hurting me,
because I don't know how I'd deal with it.
So if you don't give people yourself,
then they don't fucking leave you and they don't hurt ya.
So then you just... I'm fine, I'm always fine.
But the reality is, you're not.
No, cos I'm angry, all the time.
Yeah, I can see that.
You know, my clad died when I was five.
He travel led a lot, you know, he would come home but then
he would be gone, he would come home and he'd be gone.
So I know he made a promise to me and my brother
that he would come back, after his last trip.
And he never came back.
Ancl unconsciously that scarred me.
I had a lot of anger issues and I hurt a lot of people
and I didn't let people in, because I didn't wanna get hurt.
But I had to work through it,
because I knew that one clay I wanted to be a father.
How do you do that?
It was a process. It was a process of tearing down the facade.
"I'm a thug, I'm a gangster, I'm this, I'm that,
"nobody can't tell me nothing."
There was still a little boy inside of me.
Ancl that little boy inside of me had to grow up and become a man.
So I had to stare at myself in the mirror
and say "You know what, enough with the facade."
Because I don't wanna be the person that I believe I am.
But you don't know who that is yet, do you?
No, but there's a reason that I'm here now,
I genuinely believe that.
Ancl I just think I've just wasted so much of my life
being a selfish prick, basically.
Ancl I don't wanna be that no more.
I wanna be someone that people are proud of.
So, it's going to be a hard process, as you can tell.
It ain't all about the physical.
It's more about your mind.
You've got to drop that barrier,
let's see who the real Pete Wicks is.
Yes, Staff. Guard.
SHUTTERS OPEN
Stand.
Turn around.
Up.
Fuck. He's an emotional wreck.
