More Stars Exit Celebrity SAS Amidst Ongoing Challenges
The latest season of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins 2026 has witnessed an unprecedented number of exits, with a total of eight contestants withdrawing early. This season, featuring a cast of fourteen celebrities, has proven to be particularly challenging, leading to significant departures from both the UK and Australia teams.
Stars Departing Celebrity SAS
Among the latest to exit was Ryan Moloney, best known for his role in Neighbours. He made the decision to leave after being advised by medical staff that continuing could adversely affect his health. Moloney revealed he experienced a restless night, questioning whether he had properly taken his ADHD medication. A conversation with directing staff led him to recognize that withdrawing was the best choice. He expressed gratitude for the experience, acknowledging his personal growth throughout the challenges.
Injuries and Mental Challenges
Following Moloney, Graeme Swann also left the competition due to an arm injury sustained during a rescue challenge. The former England cricketer was visibly emotional, reflecting on the physical toll of the competition and the emotional experiences he had endured.
Toby Olubi, a star from Gladiators, was the next to exit. After a challenge where teamwork and focus were critical, he was deemed a liability by the directing staff. Billy Billingham emphasized the importance of maintaining focus, stating that those unable to do so must leave for the safety of the team.
Current Team Breakdown
The three latest departures—Moloney, Swann, and Olubi—join a growing list of stars who have withdrawn, including Jessika Power, Natalie Bassingthwaighte, Jack Joseph, Axle Whitehead, and Cole Anderson-James. This has significantly impacted the dynamics of the competition, leaving the following contestants:
- Team Britain: Dani Dyer, Gaby Allen, Ben Cohen
- Team Australia: Brad Hodge, Emily Seebohm, Mack Horton
The intensity of the challenges and the psychological pressure have made this one of the toughest seasons yet. Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins continues every Monday evening at 9 PM on Channel 4.
