Locksmith thinks Ant Middleton punched him in stomach during SAS: Who Dares Wins interrogation

Locksmith thinks Ant Middleton "kept hitting him in the stomach" during ‘Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins’.

The Rudimental DJ – whose real name is Leon Rolle – has opened up on the Channel 4 reality show’s most gruesome challenge as the stars face a series of brutal interrogation and torture techniques.

He said: "There was one time we were in the stress position and someone who I can only assume was Ant kept hitting me in the stomach."

The star admitted he fought back and totally lost his temper at the time – but he described it as "one of those things" set to test the famous faces on the programme as the scenes are set to air tonight (25.05.20).

He added: "By this time I’ve completely lost it, my temper’s gone.

"He keeps hitting me in the stomach and I’m head-butting him, telling him to f**k off. But it’s just one of those things – how far are you willing to go?"

Locksmith – who played on opposite Ant during last year’s ‘Soccer Aid’ charity football match – has opened up on the SAS soldier’s strict rules when it comes to ‘Who Dares Wins’.

He explained: "I made the mistake of first initially getting into the recruitment and referring to him by his first name and getting the harsh sense of the reality of that. You’re instantly put into that world straight away.

"As soon as everything is done you shake hands and you have a deep meaningful chat about the strategies the DS use to try and break you and build you back up.

"For me, I’ve got nothing but positives from that and the techniques and ways I can incorporate those things into my life."
