NEVER in my wildest dreams did I expect to see such a thing.

Never did I expect to see cricket legend Graeme “Swanny” Swann and rugby legend Ben “Coheny” Cohen competing alongside names such as Jessika Power and Axle Whitehead, as they are on this eighth series of Celebrity SAS.The main reason I didn’t expect it is I haven't a clue or idea who Jessika Power and Axle Whitehead actually are.

Or at least I didn’t before I watched last night’s opening episode.

Until then, their names had prompted no reaction in me, other than (1) Why spell Jessica with a K? And (2) Who names their kid after a car part?
