One bluntly admitted they had "no regrets" on giving the thumbs-down to a spot on gritty Channel 4 programme, Celeb SAS: Who Dares Wins.

On Monday's Good Morning Britain, entertainment reporter Richard Arnold, 54, revealed the star-studded line-up for telly's toughest show.

This included former show star Pete Wicks, 34 - who was forced to pull out during a previous season - as well as ex PM Boris Johnson's sister Rachel, 59, as well as Love Island star Georgia Harrison, 29.

While Richard admitted he would "love" to take on the army challenges, Susanna Reid, 53, said: "Not in a million years."

This prompted GMB newsreader Ranvir Singh, 47, to remark: "I think I was asked to do it once.

"You know people who go on it say that their life has chanced afterwards like Ore [Oduba] did it, and various other people, because it's very - it exposes a lot of yourself as a human being I think.

"I was like 'I'm happy for it all to be stayed buried for a bit.'

The next edition of the hit Channel 4 format sees a group of stars head to New Zealand and tackle the infamous course.

Head Instructor Mark "Billy" Billingham oversees their progress, accompanied by Directing Staff (DS) Jason "Foxy" Fox, Rudy Reyes and Chris Oliver.

Former TOWIE star Pete has also been announced as part of this year's Strictly line-up.

Talking of his show return, he said: "After being medically withdrawn in Jordan (series 4), I felt like I hadn't given it my best, and that bothered me.
