The hit Channel 4 show has enlisted Welshman Gareth Thomas for the new series, alongside MP Matt Hancock, former Liberty X singer Michelle Heaton and Love Island star Montana Brown.
And bosses have brought in a new twist for the upcoming show – after the stars of the current series filmed their scenes in Jordan.

The former Towie star is on the show alongside EastEnders actress Maisie Smith and Shannon Courtenay.
She first became emotional in last night's episode after she accidentally fired at the wrong opponent when the recruits were tasked with testing their weapon training.
SAS soldier Mark ‘Billy’ Billingham tried to calm her down, but she replied: “I’m just so royally f***ed and done. My head was all over.
“I’m sick of crying, I’m not good at it.”
During her recruit interview she shared her reasons for signing up to the tough show after Mark asked why she had broken so easily.
Sobbing, the First Time Mum star said: “Out of everything I'm like right, I reckon my mind is going to be one of my strengths.
“But I wasn't really sure what I was doing and I didn't really understand.”

Ferne added: “People see me as a reality star and it really bugs me when people say I have no talent.
“But I’ve always wanted to impress and do good because I’ve got so much self-doubt. I really just want to start believing in myself.”
