A star reportedly threatened to throw a crew member off a cliff after he collapsed while filming Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins.
The sun claims boxer Anthony Ogogo had to be calmed down by crew after the stress of the show became too much.
The latest series was filmed in New Zealand and will reportedly star Love Island alumni Ovie Soko, TOWIE star Pete Wicks, Bianca Gascoigne, actor John Barrowman and gymnast Ellie Downie – as well as Anthony.
A source told the publication of the alleged incident: ‘Anthony went crazy after a tough task that involved pulling something up the side of a mountain in the snow.
‘He was stressed by the challenge and took his anger out on a crew member. He yelled at him and threatened to throw him off the side.

“He’s a big guy and because he’s a boxer, everyone was terrified.
“Luckily he calmed down eventually and no one was hurt, but it was a scary situation.”
Representatives for Anthony and Channel 4 have been contacted by MailOnline for comment.
Anthony was forced to retire from boxing early after a career-ending eye injury in 2016, following a bronze medal at the 2012 London Olympics.
The show will once again see a star-studded line-up travel abroad to face a whole host of terrifying challenges, as they overcome their worst fears.
It will also be a return to the series for one star, with Pete getting another chance to appear after having to withdraw from the show in 2022 with a broken rib.
Former Love Island star Bianca Gascoigne vows to prove she is up to the SAS challenges, despite her glamorous personality.
A source claimed that she is aware of the ‘bias’ around her and is keen to ‘show people what she is made of’.
They added that Bianca loves to “challenge herself” and hopes to push herself to her “mental and physical limits.”
