 Anthony Ogogo is still suffering after getting frost bite during gruelling filming for Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins. The retired boxer and former Strictly star turned professional wrestler – who is contracted to All Elite Wrestling and appeared on screen for the first time in a year in the preshow for the company's Wembley Stadium event on Sunday – is set to be part of the 2024 series of the gruelling Channel 4 challenge show and he's admitted the experience was a difficult one. Speaking just before AEW's huge All In London show, he exclusively told Metro.co.uk: 'It was fun, it was just very hard! On telly, it's just someone lifting a boat and you see them grimacing and you're like, 'That looks hard! That looks heavy!' 'You can't feel the weight of it. When you feel the weight of it – and then we were in New Zealand in their winter! I got frost bite, my two big toes are still numb from the experience. I'm sitting there, I'm shuddering!' While former Olympian Ogogo prides himself 'on being tough' – whether that's emotionally or physically – he was taken aback by the way he and his fellow cast members were put through their paces. 'I feel like emotionally, physically, I'm a tough dude! I've done a lot in my life, I've gone through a lot in my life, I'm hardened. I've got thick skin,' he smiled. 'It genuinely was one of the hardest things I've done in my entire life.' Ogogo was put through his paces by the show's Directing Staff (Picture: Pete Dadds/Channel 4/PA) The 34-year-old star thinks he put a target on his own back by 'drawing attention' to himself when he should have been embracing the idea of a 'grey man', which is needed to be a top spy. 'You'll see I highlighted myself early doors which made it harder because the DS kind of picked on me a little bit,' he admitted. 'Spies aren't drawing attention to themselves, they're just going about their day, go in, do a very dangerous job,){kind=link}
