SAS Who Dares Wins in talks about kids’ version after celebrity special, reveals star Ollie Ollerton
CELEBRITY SAS star Ollie Ollerton says the Channel 4 show is in talks about making a kids' special - but swearing would have to be banned.
The Special Forces officer joked there would be "more bleeps than words" if Ant Middleton took the reins in an exclusive interview with The Sun Online.
When asked about applying the challenges to youngsters, Ollie told us: "We have talked about that in different formats.
"There has been talks about that but I don't think they'd change the format of Celebrity SAS.
"There is definitely space for a similar kind of thing for kids. I don't know how Ant would get on with the swearing. There would be more bleeps than words."
The show’s chief instructor Ant Middleton and his directing staff have been putting intense pressure on a whole host of new celebrities for latest series.
They've faced their biggest fears on the freezing cold Scottish island of Raasay - but Ollie revealed the crew are looking for warmer locations in the future.
He confirmed the show is planning to film the next series after lockown and said: "The UK will be wanting to film the next SAS: Who Dares Wins [after lockdown].
"I think to be honest we are pushing for somewhere warm next time, so that would be a preference for sure.
"We are doing a version for Australia, or we were, hopefully that is going to get renegotiated. It should be going forward.
"I think I'd like to go somewhere like Bora Bora, French Polynesia."
Asked if the weather makes a difference to how recruits perform during Special Forces selection, Ollie added: "I think you can operate a lot longer in the heat but when you become cold, you become insular and selfish and it brings out your true character very quickly. The cold is a lot harsher.
"But I do like the jungle. The jungle is the real test. the jungle is trying to kill you. The little scratches turn into an infection."
began his military career at the age of 18 when he joined the Royal Marine Commandos and toured operationally in Northern Ireland & Operation Desert Storm in Iraq.
He has just released his second book, Battle Ready, and said it can be used as a guide to surviving lockdown during the coronavirus pandemic.
He told us: "The book really for me it's a war cry to procrastination to achieve the things you want to achieve in life, I was pretty broken.
