Fans will be treated to eight one-hour instalments which will start early next year on C4.
Channel 4’s official press release states: ‘The UK and Aussie recruits are put under extreme pressure as every mistake is punished, every crack exploited, every weakness dragged into the open.
‘Not everyone will have what it takes to make it to the end as bonds snap, egos shatter, and recruits are pushed so far past their limits they forget they ever had any.’
Dani, who is recruit number four, said of the show: ‘I’m a massive fan of the show. I’ve always watched it and wondered if I could do it. I want to put myself to the test.
‘I’m nuts, but I think I will be good at it. I’ll be completely out of my comfort zone. I just hope that I will be able to stop listening to the voices in my head and just get to the end because that would make me so proud. I think physically I’ve got this.
‘Mentally is what I’ll struggle with as my brain attacks me all the bloody time. I just want to believe in myself a little bit more and stop being a negative Nancy.’
