CELEBRITY SAS: Who Dares Wins has been thrown into chaos — after three contestants left within days of arriving for filming.

Telly presenter Ulrika Jonsson, 53, quickly found the gruelling tasks too much to handle this series, along with reality star Vicky Pattison, 32.

Meanwhile, former X Factor star Jake Quickenden, 32, was flown from the set in Scotland to London to see a specialist surgeon after suffering a serious injury.

A telly insider said: “SAS is notoriously the hardest show on telly and it pushes the celebs to their limits.

“Ulrika was so keen but not long after it started she had a meltdown and quit.

“She’s had a back issue and it was evident she wasn’t cut out for the tasks.

“Vicky also handed in the towel not long in.

"On the same day she left, it turned into chaos as Jake pulled up in agony. It’s believed he could have torn a bicep.

“Everyone hopes he’ll return but it depends if he’ll recover in time. It’s not great losing people but it proves how hard it is.”

Other contestants include ex-footballer Kieron Dyer, 41, Loose Women’s Saira Khan, 50, rower James Cracknell, 48, and singer Alexandra Burke, 32.
