An Olympic gymnastics gold medalist, a soccer star, an NFL Pro Bowler, a motocross champion, and four actors are among the 16 celebrities competing on Fox’s Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test season three.

Directing Staff (DS) agents Rudy Reyes, Mark “Billy” Billingham, Jason “Foxy” Fox and Jovon “Q” Quarles will lead the celebrities through the intense training exercises. Season three’s executive producers include Becky Clarke, Liam Humphreys, and Alicia Kerr.
“This time around, the recruits will be training in Wales, the home of British Special Forces Selection, and will endure the harsh reality of ocean warfare. The recruits must learn the art of getting comfortable with being uncomfortable as they are faced with training challenges across the country’s vast terrain of both land and sea, including a high-pressure hostage rescue, a treacherous ladder crossing between steep cliffs nearly 100 ft above the sea, a boat dunk drill where they will be submerged into the frigid ocean and tasked with performing essential survival duties, a surf immersion where they will have to control their panic in an exercise that takes them to the brink of drowning, and much more,” reads Fox’s synopsis.
“In this experiment, there are no votes and no eliminations – just survival. These celebrities, who are so used to being in the spotlight, will quickly learn the meaning of ‘no guts, no glory’ – and no glam.
