Where was the series filmed?

The 2024 sees the cast and crew head to a new filming location in the South Island of New Zealand.

Channel 4 said: “The New Zealand landscape might look breathtaking, but looks are deceiving for this year’s group of celebrity recruits who will experience the brutal mountain environment and weather conditions used to prepare the UK military for winter warfare operations.

"There will be no glamour and no luxuries for these privileged celebrities. These famous faces will abandon their glamorous lifestyles and will be exposed to constant cold and wet in a punishing one stop shop of Special Forces training environments.”
