Celebrity SAS desperate to sign Gordon Ramsay – but blast Piers Morgan as ‘too weak’ for the show
PIERS Morgan is "too weak" to take part in Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, claims Ollie Ollerton - but he's desperate to recruit Gordon Ramsay.
The tough member of Ant Middleton's Directing Staff says they'd even have Katie Price back after she was first out in the latest series.
Quizzed on who his dream celebrity stars would be in an exclusive interview with The Sun Online, Ollie said: "I tell you what I would love Tyson Fury actually and I keep saying Gordon Ramsay. I would love to get him on and see what he can do.
"Piers wouldn't last two seconds, he is not, you know, he just wouldn't. Everyone says Piers Morgan but he'd be gone in the first ten minutes."

It followed an emotional interrogation with the Staff about how her life spiralled out of control last year.
Her confessions left Ollie gobsmacked at what she had been through and insists she would benefit from returning to the course.
"I don't get any say in the recruitment of who goes on the show," said Ollie.
"I think Katie could get so much from it I would like to see that happen, she would have to make some physical changes she would have to change her mindset.
"In a lot of ways to come back and gain from it. We provide the platform, you've got to meet us halfway.
"It was phenomenal to hear her role off a load of things that would be a single topic for any one person."
