Ella Morgan will compete on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins. The television star, known from Married At First Sight UK, would be the first transgender contestant in this celebrity version of the Channel 4 programme.

Morgan gained fame in 2023 when she participated in the dating format. SAS: Who Dares Wins is a highly physical and mentally demanding programme. Contestants must push through military training exercises. The regular civilian version of the show had previously featured transgender contestants.

This marks a significant moment for British television. It shows that reality TV is becoming increasingly inclusive. Morgan joins other well-known Britons facing the same challenges.

Channel 4 has not yet made an official announcement about the casting. So it is not yet 100 per cent certain this will happen. If true, this would be a considerable step for Morgan's career after MAFS.
