CELEB SAS Who Dares Wins star Teddy Soares breaks down in tears as he confronts his "demons" in the gritty TV series.
The reality TV personality, 28 - who is now starring in the Channel 4 show - shot to fame when he appeared on ITV2 dating show Love Island back in 2021.
Now Teddy has swapped the Mallorca villa for the hardcore surroundings of the Celeb SAS camp - and in a teaser clip for tonight, it appears the gruelling physical and emotional challenge has got to him.
A video posted to his Instagram page sees him in floods of tears as he opens up on the lack of contact with his mum.
It starts with Teddy, wearing his slacks, taken to a darkened room to chat to the special forces team.

He candidly discloses: "If you ask me two, three years ago do you need any contact from your own mum I would have told you 'no I don't care.'
"If I answer now but ... I think I am just sick of not knowing that part of who I am," as tears started to fill his eyes.
He was then asked if he had reached out to his parent, to which he replied: "No. I just haven't really been brave enough.
"And I think literally the only thing that's stopping me is me."
In his video caption, Teddy added: "I address the scars I’ve kept hidden.
"It’s a tough process, but it’s where true strength comes from."
Fans were quick to react to the raw confession, with one commented: "You can do it Teddy."
Another put: "Incredibly strong and brave," as a third added: "Proud of you."
Meanwhile, speaking to The Sun ahead of the new series, former Love Island contestant complained about how he ended up with trench foot, along with Danielle Lloyd, Gareth Gates and Perri Shakes-Drayton.
Reflecting on his war wounds, he said, "I was in a wheelchair all through the airport, so it was very painful. It was like a week recovery period.

"The trench foot made it so difficult to walk. It was the same with Gareth, Danielle and Perri too.
"When we first initially came out, of course we had the therapy session and the conversations. But I couldn't get past the pain and this affected me on pretty much the last day that I was there."
On a happier note, Teddy exclusively revealed to The Sun he has found romance six months on from his split with Love Island partner Faye Winter.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, he revealed: "I am loved-up at the moment. Well maybe I shouldn't say loved-up but I am seeing someone and really happy.
"It is early days and I'm not going to say who it is. We are just taking our time and getting to know each other. I think at this stage we are just finding out about each other and becoming best friends which is really nice."
He continued: "She makes me very happy. She's a total vibe. I'm not sure I should be saying all this as I've not spoken about her before but yes I'm into her.
"She may not know it but yes I am really into her."
