Fox is one of the original presenters and directing staff on SAS: Who Dares Wins, a reality television programme where contestants experience a gruelling training course loosely based on a condensed version of the special forces selection process. Fox stars alongside former special forces soldiers Ant Middleton, Matthew ‘Ollie’ Ollerton, Mark ‘Billy’ Billington, and Jay Morton. The programme first broadcast in 2015 is produced by Channel 4, and aired its fifth season in February 2020. In 2019 the first season of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins aired which also stars Fox. He admits: “That’s another thing that will take me out my comfort zone. It’ll be so different with me droning on about my life.” When Fox talks about his stories about life in the warzones, you do not feel disconnected from the overall principle of this book & it’s messages of how we can all change! Instead, the addition of personal stories - that are then represented in other life situations we may be more familiar with - you are taken more deeply into this book. Jason Fox delivers expertly a contrast of his own gripping stories & making them relatable to us readers unfamiliar with the thrill-seeking & dangerous scenarios this man has been in. Jason first ventured into the world of TV in 2015 when the debut series of SAS: Who Dares Wins aired on Channel 4, but despite finding fame overnight, he tends to keep out of the spotlight.

Jason Fox served with the SBS for over a decade, thriving on the close bonds of the Special Forces brotherhood and the ‘death or glory’ nature of their missions. Midgley, Carol.

We can all work on different aspects of out life to make sure we get the best out of us in whatever we do in life. Outside of his military career, some of Foxy’s bigger adventures include rowing across the Atlantic ocean from Lagos, Portugal to Macuro, Venezuela in 2016 with four of his mates Aldo Kane, Matthew Bennett, Ross Johnson and Oliver Bailey. Known as Team Essence, their expedition [13] took the crew 50 days over 3,308 nautical miles, and landed them the records for becoming the first team to row unsupported, crossing the Atlantic Ocean from east to west - from mainland Europe to South America, non-stop from mainland to mainland. Across the journey Team Essence also raised money for the NSPCC.There were reports suggesting Kieron had “battered him”, but he stresses that did not happen. He adds: “I got into a big red suit and was a lump for ­celebrities to have a go at. I judged whether the celebrities had enough aggression or not. He put in a good effort.” When asked how she feels about his fame, he replies: “She takes it all in her stride. When she watched this Channel 4 documentary with me, she was like, ‘Wow, I am watching a programme of you being you.’” Adeleke was born into riches in Nigeria, but following the death of his father and the unjust seizing of his family’s wealth by the Nigerian Government, Remi and his family relocated to Bronx, New York in 1987. After years of making “regrettable decisions”, he joined the Navy in 2002 and later joined the Navy SEALs. Although, Adeleke nearly didn’t make it to the military. “I had two warrants out for my arrest – but the recruiter who was also from the Bronx, took a chance on me”, he explains. It took him two attempts to pass his SEAL training, almost dying during his first Hell Week. He wrote a best-selling book, Battle Scars, about his time serving in the military services and the effect it had on his mental health.
