While the men have spent much time together during the filming for the Channel 4 show, which is designed to replicate the special forces recruitment process, this is the first time they have interacted outwith the training exercises. 

However the conversation between the three men soon takes a sombre tone as Peart opens up about the death of his wife Chelsey.

He says: ‘I lost my wife six months ago. She committed suicide.

‘She was perfect in every single way. She was beautiful, she was funny, happy, honestly like the fairytale. But she just had these things that ate away on her – low self-esteem and anxieties.

‘I’m still feeling lost with it and don’t fully understand. I don’t think I ever will.’

At the inquest, the coroner heard Mrs Peart was found hanging by her husband Mark at their home in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, on April 11 last year.

In a statement which was read at Doncaster Coroner’s Court by coroner’s officer David Copley, Peart said he was working a day shift at Manvers Fire Station on April 11.

He said: ‘I arrived home at about 7.05pm and the house was in darkness. I discovered Chelsey.’ 

Peart attempted CPR until paramedics arrived but Chelsey was pronounced dead at the couple’s home.

Peart explains the loss is part of his drive in the show. He has been a frontrunner in the process from the beginning and is widely tipped to win.
