Jeff Brazier hallucinated being visited by a six-year-old version of HIMSELF

If you thought the SAS: Who Dares Wins guys would have given the celebs an easier rise then you’re wrong.

In tonight’s final the recruits pushed to their absolute limit - with Jeff Brazier even hallucinating a visit from his six-year-old self.

The presenter, 39, made the shocking revelation about his time on the Channel 4 show.

He said the process was so brutal that his mind started playing tricks on him.

“They’ve got you in stress positions and you’re being blasted with noises like babies crying and pigs squealing,” he recalled.

“After about eight hours of that my mind wandered to somewhere so distant from where any human is used to operating in, all of a sudden I was visited by my inner child, or your second self.

“I was being visited by this little six-year-old version of myself and he was like, ‘I trust you, I know that you can take it from here, so I’m not going to play as much of a part’ It was really, really something.”

Sounds like it, Jeff.

Even hardened Olympic cyclist Victoria couldn’t maintain her brave front.

She admitted jibes about her personal life cut deep.

“The actual interrogation room was bad, because they played you all off one another and they tried to push my buttons so they were talking about my failures,.

"How people let me down and how does that make me feel,” told Victoria, 38, who thought about taking her own life last summer while suffering from depression and splitting from husband Scott Gardener.

They’re among eight celebs who have made it through final of SAS: Who Dares Wins in aid of Stand Up For Cancer.

The recruits lived together in an unforgiving ex-military base, high in the Chilean Andes.

From their very first challenge - a terrifying backwards dive out of a helicopter - Ant Middleton and his team of ex-special forces instructors were determined to show them that no allowances will be made for their star status.

Victoria, Jeff, ex footballer Wayne Bridge, presenter AJ Odudu, actor Jeremy Irvine, rugby player Heather Fisher, rugby ace Ben Foden and reality star Sam Thompson.

Find out who survives the ordeal Sunday night at 9pm on Channel 4.
