Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins has reportedly cast its first ever trans contestant.
Ella Morgan – who rose to fame on Married At First Sight UK in 2023 – is said to be joining the next celebrity series of the Channel 4 show.
While trans contestants have previously appeared on the civilian version of the popular series, Ella would be the first trans celeb to take part.
A source told The Sun that bosses are continuing to prioritise inclusive casting, adding: “Ella was a tough cookie before finding fame on MAFS and a few years in the spotlight have made her more than ready to take it all on.”
The reality star has used her platform to advocate for trans visibility and representation, and now looks set to take on one of TV’s toughest challenges.
Ella Morgan’s career so far
Ella Morgan became a fan-favourite on MAFS, ending the series paired with a different husband than who she married at first.
Her romance with JJ Slater didn’t last, and she eventually signed up for Celebs Go Dating in 2024. On the show, she started dating Alex James Ali. They continued their relationship for a while after the show, but split up after a few months.
Morgan has also worked in theatre, in the pantomime Snow White and the Seven Drag Queens, hosted for Brighton Pride 2024 and London Pride 2025, and signed a modelling contract with fashion brand PrettyLittleThing.
She also became the first trans celebrity to represent retailer Superdrug in 2025, even fronting a campaign for the high street store.
