PETE Wicks will return to Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins after he was forced to quit.
Insiders revealed the reality TV star flew out to New Zealand this week for a second chance on the hit Channel 4 show.
Pete Wicks is getting a second chance at Celebrity SAS
He was knocked out cold during a risky challenge last year
Pete, 35, was devastated when he had to pull out in the second episode after a jump from a helicopter went horribly wrong.
He was knocked unconscious after leaping from the chopper into the sea and broke his ribs.
Pete was handed another chance at the show, which is famed for being the toughest reality show on the telly.
A source said: “Pete was gutted he had to withdraw from the last series of SAS.
“When he was told he would get the chance to give it another go he was over-the-moon.
“Pete has flown out to New Zealand now to quarantine ahead of filming the new series.
“He cannot wait to show them what he is made of and thinks he could go all the way.”
Fans of the show watched in horror last year as Pete’s accident played out on screen.
He was tasked with jumping out of a helicopter into the sea with Ashley Cain.
However the jump went wrong and Pete ended up hitting the water so hard he was knocked out cold.
Speaking about his departure from the show, Pete said: “I was gutted actually.
“Listen, this is a bit of a thing for me, it’s like I’ve always wanted to do this show and the worst thing for me was to be taken out because that’s something that I can’t control.
“But listen, if I’m completely honest with you, they’re a hundred percent right because I wouldn’t have been able to carry on with my broken ribs.
“To have been out so early, I was absolutely gutted because it’s a fail.
“And unfortunately now for me, I feel like I failed, it’s something that will f***ing haunt me because I just don’t fail things.
“I don’t say I’m going to do something and don’t do it, so I was genuinely so hurt, gutted, disappointed, f***ed off and angry at myself. And I still am, to be honest with, even a year later.
“That was tough for me. I felt like I’d let a lot of people down, I felt like I’d let myself down.”
Although the show tests the stars physically, it is also very mentally challenging – and Pete is gutted that he never got the chance to challenge himself in that way.
He continued: “Regardless, my fitness was nowhere near a lot of the other people, but it wasn’t about that.
“The whole show is more mental than it is anything else and I wanted to get interrogated and I was just gutted not to even get that far.
“There was no way I was every going to hand my armband in, I knew I never would, so to go out the way I did really hurt.
“To be withdrawn because you’re physically unable to carry on for something that was an unfortunate accident, I just found it really, really tough.”
Pete can’t wait to prove himself once again
