Lauren Steadman took home the impressive winning title, but many viewers expressed their disappointment.

While Lauren certainly performed very well, some viewers were upset over Nikki Sanderson and Helen Skelton missing out.

Up to this point the pair had performed impeccably, but on last night’s episode they failed the interrogation segment.

Each remaining contestant was tasked with sticking to a cover story while the interrogators attempted to break them.

The shocking tasks involved them being soaked with freezing water, humiliated and forced to listen to repetitive noises for hours.

Both Helen and Nikki broke down during the interrogation sessions, and failed to feed any information to the interrogators.

“Big mistake!”

Ant Middleton explained that in real life if hostages refused to reveal any information – they would end up dead.

Viewers flocked to Twitter to share their disappointment over Nikki and Helen’s performance.

One user tweeted their confusion over the task and Helen’s ‘failure’.

A third user claimed: “#saswhodareswins Helen! Deserved to Pass the course cos she was one of the most consistent.”

“Still very impressed”

And a fourth shared: “Expected @HelenSkelton to do well. Still very impressed. #SASWhoDaresWins.”

And a fifth declared: “Lauren not for me Nikki was more deserving #CelebritySASWhoDaresWins.”

Paralympic athlete and former Strictly contestant Lauren Steadman was ecstatic with her win, and compared it to her 2009 Olympics Gold Medal.

She said: “It was totally different from anything I’ve done… but a similar feeling to when I won my first world title.

“Obviously, I’ve worked for years to win a world title, but it did feel as though I exhausted all sources of energy I had in those eight days.

“There was nothing more I could have given, so when they said I had passed it did feel like that moment someone puts a gold medal around your neck and you hear the national anthem.”
