Hayley says: "It's an interesting, if simplified, psychological experiment"

“The deal is 12 celebrities go through the intense training that’s usually reserved for SAS soldiers. So we get to see the likes of friend-of-Must-Watch Joey Essex, Katie Price and former boxing champion Tony Bellew get shouted at, dumped in the sea and abseil off jagged cliffs.

“It's shot in the Inner Hebrides, which includes Skye – one of my favourite places in the world. Because I’ve been there, it’s harder to watch them do this stuff: you know exactly how slippery the rocks are, how icy the sea is, you know how relentless the wind is and how sometimes it’s so windy, the waterfalls in Skye go sideways. It’s a hard place to exist even if you’re just going for a nice walk. But it's beautiful. So I loved this, partly because of where it’s filmed and the fact I don’t know when I’ll be able to get there again.

"But I also thought it was an interesting, if simplified, psychological experiment. They bring in the contestants' real lives, which was interesting, but especially when it came to Tony Bellew. I’m sort of obsessed with retired boxers: they’ve got all these instincts but where do they go when you can’t use them in the ring?

“I really enjoyed it, most because of where it was filmed, but also the Tony Bellew story. Based on that, it’s a Must Watch for me."

Scott says: "It tries to be above the world of reality TV, when that is what it is"

“It’s one of those really bizarre shows because it tries to make it feel like it’s above the world of reality TV, when that’s what it is.

Twelve celebrities turn up at this camp and it’s very surreal. They’re all made to line up with bags over their heads as if they’re in a hostage video and then they reveal one of them, and it’s Anthea Turner, and they reveal another and it’s Katie Price or someone from Strictly. And then 20 seconds later they make them jump off the side of a cliff.

“Some of them seem like they’re well into it and you actually see the changes from it, but then it’s really kind of weird when they keep focusing on the celebrities private lives, to try and drag it into the show as if it is like any other reality show. It tries to portray itself as being as far away from a normal reality show as possible, whilst very much being a reality show. For me, I just found that quite grating.

“I'm going to say it's not a Must Watch."

Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins started on Channel 4 on Monday 20 April, and is on every Monday at 21:00 BST.
