Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins returns next week for its latest series on Channel 4 and among the line-up for the TV show is former S Club member Hannah Spearritt

One of the celebrity contestants on the new series of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, which launches next week, reportedly dropped out just hours into the experience. The news comes after the line-up was announced last week.

Fourteen celebrities were enlisted for the Channel 4 show’s latest series, which was filmed in Wales. It’s teased that the contestants will take part in “the most gruelling phase” of Special Forces selection over the eight episodes, with the upcoming series set to launch next weekend.

The line-up includes former S Club member Hannah Spearritt, 44. She’s understood to have filmed for the show prior to relocating to Costa Rica earlier this year, with the singer now living an “uninhibited” life in the jungle.

She was said to have faced a “sequence of setbacks” prior to relocating abroad. In 2023, she was said to have faced homelessness and dropped out of S Club’s reunion tour that same year. Her departure from the tour came after bandmate Paul Cattermole’s death weeks prior and Hannah said that her health contributed to the decision.

It’s now been reported this week that Hannah’s experience on Celebrity SAS proved to be the “final straw” before she moved abroad. It’s claimed that she quit on the first day after hoping it would “turn things around for her”.

A source told the Daily Mail that Hannah had “pretty much exhausted” her connections in the industry before her move to Costa Rica. They said that she no longer speaks to her bandmates and has “shut herself off” from the industry.

They added that the “final straw” came when she took part in Celebrity SAS. The source told the outlet: “Hannah truly believed that a stint on one of the hardest and most gruelling shows could turn things around for her.”

However, it’s claimed that Hannah struggled with the experience on the reality TV show. The source said: “But sadly she just couldn’t hack it and walked on the first day.” They then concluded by saying: “It was all rather embarrassing.”

She spoke about her hopes for the show in a statement released by Channel 4 last week when the line-up was announced. She said: “I hope to take out of this experience, strength. I want to feel stronger again, mentally and physically, because there’s always improvement there.”

Hannah, who has two children, added: “There are always dips that happen along the way with motherhood or whatever but I think when you just experience different stuff, it changes you. I have no idea what to expect, but I do know it will be an experience and it’s something that I will have for life.”

She said: “However the experience goes, I am going to learn about myself. Maybe I’ll find out I am a bit of a mess or I might find out that I’m stronger than I think I am … it’s finding out things about yourself that you would never, ever find out. We live in this world where it’s so easy to live in our comfort zone, so this is an opportunity to get outside of that and … for me anyway, growth and expansion is one of the most important things, and that is something that hopefully I can pass on to my kids.”

Since taking part in the show, Hannah has relocated to Costa Rica with her husband Adam Thomas and their two children. Earlier this year, she teased that she was embracing a “new beginning” after having left the UK just months prior.

Hannah confirmed in January that she had arrived at her new home, writing: “Well … we finally made it to paradise. Beautiful country, beautiful people.” She’s continued to share updates since then and her bio on Instagram reads: “Prepper, survivalist and creator now living the uninhibited jungle life.”

In one of her first posts after relocating, which was shared in February, Hannah said that the area had helped her “recover from a challenging year”. She made the comment alongside photos including one of her beside her kids on a walk.

She wrote in the caption: “Morning walks down to the waterfall… trying to keep up with the little legs! I’m putting together a little reel of this magical place that has really helped me recover from a challenging year and I’ll put the link in with it so you can enjoy it too if u like.”

From August 3, the new series of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins can be streamed or watched live every Sunday and Monday from 9pm on Channel 4.

Before her move to Costa Rica, Hannah had “pretty much exhausted” her connections in the industry, according to a source close to Hannah. They claimed that she has “shut herself off” from the industry and is no longer communicating with her bandmates.

The “final straw” was when she participated in Celebrity SAS, they continued. “Hannah truly believed that a stint on one of the most difficult and grueling shows could change things for her,” the source told the outlet.

Hannah, who has two children, said: “There are always bumps in the road to motherhood or whatever, but I believe it changes when you just go through it.” Although I have no idea what to expect, I am certain that it will be a lifelong experience.

She said: “However the experience goes, I am going to learn about myself. Maybe I’ll find out I am a bit of a mess or I might find out that I’m stronger than I think I am … it’s finding out things about yourself that you would never, ever find out.

The Duke and Duchess of Westminster, who are close friends with William and Harry, have shared the name they have given their newborn daughter

Prince William and Harry ’s billionaire friend has announced the birth of a baby daughter, sharing the sweet name they have given the newborn. Hugh Grosvenor and Olivia Henson, also known as the Duke and Duchess of Westminster, welcomed the tiny tot and announced that the little girl’s name is Cosima Florence Grosvenor.

After revaling they were expecting their first child back in March, the couple announced the birth of their daughter in a statement, saying the baby was born in London, adding: “Both the Duchess and Cosima are doing well. The Duke and Duchess now look forward to spending this special time together as a family.”

Cosima is of Greek and Italian origin. The name carries a beautiful, elegant meaning and is derived from the Greek word kosmos (κόσμος), which means order, harmony, or the universe.

Billionaire aristocrat Hugh Grosvenor and his wife Olivia married last year, after they met in 2021. The duke, one of the UK’s biggest landowners, is a close friend of both the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Sussex, and godfather to Prince George and also reportedly to Prince Archie.

William acted as an usher at the Duke’s wedding in Chester Cathedral in June last year but Harry mutually agreed with the groom he would not attend amid his long-running rift with his brother.

When the couple tied the knot, Olivia became the new Duchess of Westminster, which, in turn, garnered attention on any titles their children would inherit . As it stood when they wed, any offspring would be affected by a centuries-old rule that also led to Hugh inheriting the immense Grosvenor fortune, estimated at £10bn.

Peerages only pass down the male line (known as male primogeniture), which means that the peerage can only be inherited by a male relative.

Therefore, the Duke and Duchess’s new daughter, under the current laws, will not be entitled to inherit the Westminster title, nor the family fortune and estate that goes with it.

Instead, she will be styled as Lady, and if they have any more children, with one being a son, they would be known as Earl Grosvenor until he inherits the dukedom.

The same rule also directly impacted Hugh, who has two older sisters, Lady Tamara and Lady Edwina Grosvenor. When their father, Gerald Grosvenor, 6th Duke of Westminster, died in 2016, the family title went to Hugh, his third child and only son.

Hugh, who was once considered one of England’s most eligible bachelors, became a billionaire when he inherited his title and control of the historic Grosvenor Estate aged 25, following the death of his father from a heart attack in 2016.

His property company, Grosvenor Group, owns hundreds of acres of land in Mayfair and Belgravia, as well as major city centre developments such as Liverpool’s One shopping centre.

In 2020, the duke donated £12.5 million to the UK’s Covid-19 relief effort including funds for NHS Charities Together and for medical research and development.
