Matt Hancock has said his physical and mental resilience was tested “to its limits almost every minute of every day” during his time on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins.
The West Suffolk MP, 44, said the closest he came to quitting the gruelling programme was after “having my rib broken” during the jungle phase of SAS selection in Thung Ui, north Vietnam.
