Celebrity SAS: Katie Price becomes FIRST star to quit the series after struggling with gruelling sandbag challenge

Katie Price became the first star to quit Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins after she struggled with a gruelling sandbag challenge.

The mum-of-five, 41, threw in the towel just minutes into the task which saw the 12 recruits woken up in the middle of the night and forced to hold extremely heavy sandbags above their heads for 10 minutes.

Katie admitted she was ‘p****d off’ for walking away from the challenge , but vowed to return in another series.

Done! Katie Price became the first star to quit Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins after she struggled with a gruelling sandbag challenge

The ordeal started when chief instructor Ant Middleton decided to test the recruits speed by giving them a 1am wake-up call, after they had had only one hour’s sleep.

However, as two of the celebrities were not in the correct uniform when they came to line up, the whole group was punished and they were forced to carry the weighty sandbags above their heads.

Unfortunately for Katie, the task proved too much and after some goading by Ant, she gave in.

The star gave him her number, meaning she had quit and her time on the show was over.

Speaking afterwards, Katie said: ‘I am so p****ed off.’  

‘I didn’t have the strength to keep my arms up.  It’s not an excuse, it’s just me how it feels for me. 

She added: ‘I will always f**king beat myself up, I’m so p****ed with myself.’

She later said: ‘It’s a tough thing to do this course, it’s tough!’ 

Though Katie quit in the second episode after struggling with the strength challenge, the TV star later said that though she was strong mentally, her body was not ready for it as at the time, she had recently recovered from breast reduction surgery.

She told the Evening Standard: ‘It was just physically my body wasn’t ready for a lot of the things I was put forward to, because that’s just due to my stupidity of going smaller surgically.’

Too much to handle: Unfortunately for Katie, the task proved too much and after some goading by Ant, she gave in

She continued: ‘But apart from that I am a strong person anyway. When you get an interrogator going at you, even thought you know it is fake, although it is a show, it is not supposed to feel like a show. It feels like reality.’

Meanwhile, Katie wasn’t the only star to quit during the episode as Anthea Turner and Jack Maynard also gave up. 

Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins continues Mondays at 9pm on Channel 4.
