What TV shows has Jason Fox appeared on?

Fox started out in the TV industry by assisting crews who were working in difficult environments such as the desert, jungle and the arctic.

During this time he was part of the team of divers who discovered Captain Kidd's lost treasure off the coast of Madagascar.

Then he joined the cast of SAS: Who Dares Wins in 2015.

The tough reality show, which has produced six regular series and two celebrity spin-offs, puts recruits through a gruelling combat fitness regime.

Fox has also starred in the Australian version of the hit TV show.

And he took part in Meet the Drug Lords: Inside the Real Narcos in 2018.

The Channel 4 documentary highlighted the inner workings of the multi-billion dollar drug industry and the people who operate it.

In June 2021 The Sun exclusively revealed how Jason had landed his own Channel 4 show.

With the working title Beyond With Jason Fox, it saw the former ­special forces ­soldier test their mental and physical endurance in a format similar to Bear Grylls' telly shows.

Is Jason Fox married and does he have any children?

Fox is believed to be in a relationship with Jules Hawkins.

The pair were first photographed back in 2016.

He met Jules following his split from ex-wife Lucy Culkin, who he married back in September 2011.

Jason welcomed his first child, a daughter named Honor, with Lucy in 2012.

He also shares a daughter with a woman whom he married before Lucy.

"I've got two marriages that have gone down the pan - I like to attribute it to the military life but then I look at the common denominator which is me," the SAS star previously admitted.

What watch does Foxy wear on SAS?

Foxy is the new Supermarine Chrono watch ambassador for Bremont.

According to Bremont, there was no better person to represent the Supermarine Chrono line.

Jason Fox is not new to the brand, as he’s familiar with the collection and has actually worn Bremont before.

Speaking about the brand, he said: “I have been ‘tested beyond endurance’ my entire life, so I can fully relate to the brand ethos.

"I admire and respect what Nick and Giles have managed to achieve, and I can vouch for the quality of the product which has never let me down to date."

He continued: “The Supermarine Chrono is tough, durable, easy to read in hectic situations, reliable in tough situations and it looks slick.”

Prices for the Bremont Supermarine divers watch start from £3,2000.
