On Tuesday’s episode, an SAS: Who Dares Wins recruit startled Mark ‘Billy’ Billingham by disclosing that her daughter died from cancer when she was two years old, and she thought she’d ‘failed her a bit’ by failing on the programme.
Becky, an Essex housewife and number five on the Jungle Hell version of the programme, directed by Rudy Reyes, new DS Chris Oliver, Chief Instructor Billy, and Foxy (Jason Fox), had just completed a challenging test.
The 35-year-old admits to ‘frozen’ as the recruits were entrusted with tracking down an armed shooter on the loose in a public market, but then put in a highly aggressive performance during the show’s normally brutal’murderball’.
When Becky was called in for a discussion to review her performance, she was visibly moved to disclose that her daughter had died from cancer six years before at the age of two and a half.
As Billy confessed, ‘I can’t image how terrible it must be,’ the candidate added that she knew it had to be the most difficult thing she had ever faced.
Becky’s narrative, in which she stated her son was her “rock,” clearly upset both him and Rudy.

‘I have to get up and do things because he’s there, because life just goes on doesn’t it?
‘I feel like I’ve failed her a little bit,’ Becky then added of her daughter.
Rudy then pushed her to ‘face the dark regions,’ assuring her that they had not been hurled at her on purpose.
‘Nothing that we throw at you is going to be harder,’ he said.


Billy then added: ‘You are strong, you’ve got guts, you’ve got courage , you’ve got strength – but do it for you, because you deserve it.’
As Becky was removed from the room with the customary bag over her head, staying in the show, Billy admitted: ‘That threw me a bit to be honest. Poor thing.’
Reflecting on their meeting, Becky heartbreakingly revealed: ‘I didn’t think that I was ever good at anything before I was a mum. I was a really good mum for a while.’

Viewers were similarly impressed by Becky in an already difficult season, with one tweeting, ‘What a woman Becky (No5) is.’
‘Wow that’s strength right there,’ echoed a second as another fan added: ‘You are a good Mum, Becky. Your [sic] doing your daughter proud.’
This week, recruit number 11, chef Zac, left after deciding not to complete the training.
