It was brutal to watch, but some viewers at home were certain they had spotted evidence the scene had been heavily edited and filmed multiple times.

On Twitter, fans of the show couldn’t help noticing that some of the celebrities seemed to have switched places at several points throughout the horrific endurance test.

“What’s with the editing on the sea challenge?!!” someone tweeted to dancer Brendan Cole. “One minute it shows you next to Lauren, then it shows you next to Tony?! How’s that work? #CelebritySAS.”

Must have been awful doing it twice…

Another wrote: “So that walk into the water took three or four takes? Brendan, Lauren and the boxer bloke swapped around about five times. Fake. #CelebritySAS.”

“Must have been awful doing it twice… #SASWhoDaresWins #CelebritySAS
@TonyBellew @BrendanCole @antmiddleton,” joked a third, alongside snaps of the sea challenge.

ED! contacted Channel 4 for comment and a spokesperson for the broadcaster said: “The ‘surf immersion’ task tests the mental resilience of the recruits in a volatile sea. All the recruits completed the specific task within the time limit as required.

“With hours of footage cut down to six one-hour episodes, all tasks in Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins have to be condensed to fit the time.”
