Dani Dyer has signed up for the new series of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins.
The 29-year-old star will feature in the line-up for the latest run of the Channel 4 reality show that will pit British stars against Australian celebrities in military challenges in North Africa.
Dani – who was forced to withdraw from Strictly Come Dancing on the eve of the series earlier this year due to injury – said: "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."
Dani will be joined on the show – which is expected to return to screens in January – by fellow former Love Island contestant Gabby Allen, TV star Jessika Power, social media stars Jack Joseph and Cole Anderson-James, Neighbours actors Ryan Moloney and Natalie Bassingthwaighte, and World Cup-winning England rugby star Ben Cohen.
The line-up also features Gladiator and Olympian Toby Olubi, cricketers Graeme Swann and Brad Hodge, Olympic swimmers Emily Seebohm and Mack Horton and Home and Away actor Axle Whitehead.
Former England bowler Swann, 46, said: "I wanted to take part in Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, mostly to step out of my comfort zone and see how hard I could push myself but also, I wanted my kids to see that even the hardest tasks can be achieved if you just keep putting one foot in front of the other."
The eight-part series will also see the return of the Directing Staff led by chief instructor Mark 'Billy' Billingham with assistance from Jason 'Foxy' Fox, Rudy Reyes and Chris Oliver.
Billingham said: "A challenge like no other, this series isn't just a brutal personal course, their national pride is on the line. Who has the minerals to rise from the ashes or fade into the outback?
"North Africa has its own challenges, now throw the DS into the mix. Standby for tears, pain and glory. Now's the time for them to give all to win all, who dares wins."
