Love Island’s Teddy Soares breaks down in tears on Celebrity SAS during brutal challenge
LOVE Island star Teddy Soares burst into tears on Celebrity SAS tonight during a brutal challenge.
Participants were told to swim out to a pontoon where they would attempt to wrestle their combatant off the float and into the lake.
Teddy, who shot to fame after his tumultuous relationship with Faye Winter developed in the Love Island villa, tried to put a brave face on ahead of his wrestling match with Matt Hancock.
But the telly personality broke down sobbing in the water after revealing he does not know how to swim.
The 28-year-old said: “When I was growing up I was a chubby kid. For that reason I don’t actually know how to swim, because I wasn’t confident with taking my top off.”
He was visibly struggling as he attempted to paddle out to the pontoon, and started to panic as he fought to keep his head above water.
Despite an instructor yelling out encouragement, Teddy started sinking in the water and had to be rescued by someone on a paddleboard.
As soon as he was able to hold onto the board for support, the star broke down into gut-wrenching sobs.
Despite the terrifying ordeal, he actually went on to beat Matt Hancock in the wrestling match, even breaking two of his ribs in the process.
The gruelling episode saw one celeb pull out of the show when she could not face a tough kidnapping and interrogation.
Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins concludes at 9pm on November 5.
