You might recognise Jack from a far smaller screen as he’s best known for his TikToks. His comedic posts went viral during the pandemic, earning him over six million followers.
Jack’s decision to join Celebrity SAS was inspired by his father, an ex-army REME mechanic, and he’s keen to prove his resilience and live up to those high expectations.
“I think this is probably going to be the toughest week of my life,” he admitted. “My dad was actually in the military, so he will not be happy if I make excuses, moan, or don’t give it a hundred percent.”
“I didn’t think being in the military was ever an option for me — I’m scared of everything: flying, confrontation, large crowds, claustrophobia, bugs, insects, spiders.”
He continued: “I’m hoping I can overcome those fears. I need a big challenge. If I manage to get through this, I think it would help a lot.”
But that wasn’t his only motivation.
“I think the main reason is that, over the past five years, I’ve been living in a lot of comfort,” Jack explained. “With what I do in this industry, it’s quite an easy and comfortable job. It’s my dream job and I’m incredibly grateful for it, but I felt like I’d been in that comfort zone for too long.
“I needed something to push me out of it. I tried a few different things, but when the call came for Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, I knew it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. There’s nothing else where you get pushed to this extreme. It was perfect timing for me.”

Another TikTok star who found their footing during the pandemic — although there were fewer laughs in Cole’s beginnings. The content creator blew up on TikTok after being made redundant from his sales job, and all’s well that ends well: he’s now carved out a career in acting, even appearing in Ricky Gervais’ After Life, after catching Gervais’ attention with his impressions of the comedian. Previously, Cole had also starred in The Emily Atack Show in 2020.
