Celebrity SAS Who Dares Wins mystery as soap star ‘disappears’ from first episode – but it’s not mentioned on screen
HOLLYOAKS star Kirsty-Leigh Porter goes mysteriously missing during the first episode of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins.
Eagle-eyed viewers will have noticed group shots showing only 15 contestants instead of the 16 we were introduced to.
At the start of the show, Kirsty – who plays Leela Lomax on the soap – appeared on camera, but as the episode went on, she was nowhere to be seen.
Instead viewers watched as the remaining 15 stars were put through their paces.
The Sun previously revealed that Kirsty was the first to leave the process this series and is amongst the earliest quitters in the history of the long-running series.
An insider claimed it all got too much for Kirsty and she only lasted around an hour.
It is unclear if her exit will be aired in the second episode.
Kirsty was cast on the show in a bid to draw in younger viewers thanks to her appeal on youth-orientated soap Hollyoaks.
Speaking about her time on the show Kirsty said the experience was “absolutely brutal” but wanted to do it again.
The star, who did weight training and running to prepare for the show, previously explained her reasons for taking part, saying: “I feel like as you get older, you get a bit lost as to who you are, who I used to be, who I am as a mother, as a partner, as my character Leela.
“You kind of get lost amongst it all so I wanted to break contact with every day life strip back mentally and physically and face me and see what my limits and boundaries are.”
The Sun has contacted a rep for the show.
