Overview

• Five contestants reached the final phase, with three ultimately passing the course at the conclusion of Monday’s episode.
• The finale’s interrogation involved prolonged stress positions, hooding and distressing sounds over many hours, which one participant said was harder than anything else on the course.
• Fourteen celebrities began the series, but numerous withdrawals and a rules breach that led to one removal reduced the field before the final.
• Contestants described intense emotional fallout, with one of the three finishers saying they have stopped drinking and begun therapy, and another revealing they fainted earlier in filming and almost faced a medical withdrawal.
• All episodes of the seventh series are now available to stream on Channel 4’s platforms.
