SAS Who Dares Wins will conclude tomorrow night on Channel 4 as the remaining eight contestants will reach the interrogation round.
Ahead of the episode airing, contestant Vicki spoke exclusively to Express.co.uk about her time on the show and revealed how contestants can communicate with their family or friends.
When asked whether or not they were allowed to contact someone during their two week stay in Chile, she clarified her series didn’t.
“No, No! Nothing, absolutely nothing!” She began, before suggesting other series were allowed.
“Speaking to someone could be beneficial, or it could go the other way and derail you,” she continued.
“I know in previous series there has been an option, ‘did you want to have a call home, or see someone on video link?’.
“I think I decided before I went I didn’t want to have to do that. But it was tough,” Vicki revealed.
Nevertheless, she did find a positive from being cut off and said: “But actually, [it was] so refreshing at the same time.
“To switch off everything and all social media and you were so focused and staying alive and completed the next hour the next task the next day, anything beyond that is just a distraction.
“You couldn’t think about it [family and friends] too much whilst you were there, it would get so overwhelming.”
Express.co.uk contacted Channel 4 in regards to whether recruits were allowed or offered communication with family or friends during the course.
A spokesperson for the broadcaster explained that during filming recruits have never been allowed to contact anyone.
During the interview, the recruit also spoke about training alongside the men for the first time in the show’s history.
“I train with men all the time, so that doesn’t faze me,’ she argued. “I really wanted to participate for lots of reason in that context to show women can do what men can do and it doesn’t have to be about a gender debate.
“There were some things the guys were better at and some things the girls were better at.
“Generally, it was on an individual basis, and obviously you’ve seen that though the series so far. At this point, going into episode five and six there are more women left than men.
“Which is interesting, we [the women] were quite well organised, we had our admin in check and physically we were able to do everything that the guys did, we did do everything, there were no allowances made.
“But I don’t think thats about gender, it’s an individual thing it’s about your mindset,” she concluded.
It comes after Vicki revealed a scene which wasn’t filmed or even shown on the series.
In tomorrow night’s finale, viewers will tune in to see the interrogation, the hardest round of the course.
But before that took place, Vicki explained how herself and the other remaining contestants were taken for some down time.
“Ollie [Ollerton] and Foxy [Jason Fox] took us out to an area by a lake, the views were just astonishing. And they took us down there, and we were kind of joking that they were going to take us out for ice-creams.
“They took us down for a beasting, but actually what it was, was a light physical session, where we were able to have a bit of banter with them and it was really quite relaxed,” she continued before confirming: “That was almost off the record, that session.”
SAS Who Dares Wins returns Sunday for the final episode at 9pm on Channel 4.
