Why isn't Remi Adeleke on SAS: Who Dares Wins 2023?
Adeleke joined the Channel 4 show last year.
SAS: Who Dares Wins is back for a brand new season with a line-up of recruits being put through their paces in a bid to pass the selection process.
This year, the show heads to a brand new location and the Chief DS has also been changed.
For the 2023 season, the cast will be heading to the jungle in Thung Ui, northern Vietnam, and Rudy Reyes will no longer be the Chief Instructor after replacing Ant Middleton in 2022.
Instead, Billy (Mark Billingham), who has been part of the Directing Staff since 2016, will step up as Chief Instructor due to his background in the military SAS selection.
Viewers will have also noticed that Remi Adeleke, who joined the show last year, hasn't returned for the new edition, with Chris Oliver taking his place.
