Adebayo Akinfenwa, a former footballer known as 'The Beast', is reportedly filming the new series of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins.

Former footballer Adebayo Akinfenwa is reportedly in the lineup for the 2025 edition of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins.

The 42-year-old was known as "The Beast" during his professional career as a striker, weighing in at around 100kg, and is a cult hero among FIFA game players for his strength stats.

Celeb SAS is typically filmed more than a year in advance - the 2024 series was filmed last year but has yet to air - and Akinfenwa is thought to be among the crop currently taking part in the 2025 series in Wales.

A source told The Sun: "Adebayo has a huge following. He was a hardman on the pitch but is a gent off it. He's also charismatic and funny."

Other celebs said to be in the lineup include S Club's Hannah Spearritt, Love Island star Adam Collard, former Watford captain Troy Deeney, dancer Louie Spence and boxer Conor Benn.
