The stars of SAS: Who Dares Wins have blasted the Government's decision to allow women to serve on the Special Forces frontline.
Instructor Jason 'Foxy' Fox, a former Royal Marine, claimed the move has the potential to disrupt the finely tuned relationships that are vital to keeping soldiers alive.
'If certain dynamics affect people’s ability to operate, then that means people are going to die,' he told the Sun.
Chief instructor Ant Middleton added: 'Favouritism starts forming when there are mixed teams. It’s nothing sexual but I do think it affects the overall goal...
Put through their paces: Female recruits will feature for the first time on SAS: Who Dares Wins, which returns to Channel 4 on Sunday. Pictured left to right, recruits Cameron, Sharissa, Nathaniel, Kat, Stacy, Vicki, Mark, Julie, Rick, Nadine, Sam, Tracey, in the Andes, Chile
Determined: Recruit Vicki, a 40-year-old business owner and fitness instructor from the South-East, is among those convinced that women have what it takes to serve on the SAS frontline
Critical: Chief instructor Ant, second from left, and his team Jason 'Foxy' Fox, left, Ollie, second from left and Billy, claim it was a 'sudden' and 'harsh' decision
'It’s almost like the MoD have gone, "We are doing our bit and ticking a box". I don’t think they have really thought about it.
'Maybe they should start working with a whole female special forces team before mixing the teams.'
The pair have spoken out ahead of the return of the Channel 4 show on Sunday night, which will see female recruits put through their paces alongside male recruits for the first time.
The 25-strong group - 13 men and 12 women - will endure a punishing course in the Andes Mountains in Central Chile that is designed to replicate the one undertaken by SAS hopefuls.
Ready for a challenge: Security guard Tracey, 34, from North West England, admitted the gruelling training course was 'much more' difficult than she had expected
Pioneer: Kat, 33, a professional fighter from Hampshire, joined the 25-strong group in Chile
Equal: Police officer Laura, 25, from Hertfordshire, insists men and women are just as capable of training to the same level, no matter what the field or environment
The recruits will eat, sleep and wash together – no allowances will be made for gender – as their mental and physical strength is tested to the limits.
It is the first time Middleton and his staff have trained women and the test reveals potentially vital information about the effect their addition to the service will have.
Among the women are Vicki, a 40-year-old business owner and fitness instructor, and police officer Laura, 25, both of whom believe gender does not play a part in their ability to train.
However Middleton insists women need to 'earn their place' in the SAS.

He added: 'If you are going to change the dynamics of a team or organisation, it has to be for the better and not to prove a point.'
While women have for many years given exemplary service, including in combat-facing roles, females were unable to serve in ground close combat roles until the ban was lifted in 2016.
The Royal Armoured Corps was the first ground close combat branch to open its doors in November 2016 to female soldiers and officers, followed by the RAF Regiment in September 2017.
Since November 2016 the Army has about 35 women either serving or being trained to join the Royal Armoured Corps, with a number of personnel already being deployed in their new role to Estonia and Oman.
In October last year it was announced women would be able to serve in all roles in the military, including the SAS. New recruits start basic training in April.
SAS: Who Dares Wins returns to Channel 4 on Sunday at 9pm.
Link hienalouca.com Interesting to note Looking for an investor or sponsor for a project to grow dinosaurs and relict plants. Requires the sum of investments from 400000$ to 900000$. The exact amount can not say because there are many nuances. It will be necessary to build a small laboratory with certain parameters. To all interested persons please write on an email angocman@gmail.com . It is the scientific project and I do not know whether it is possible to earn on it. The probability of success of the project is approximately 60%. That will be very interesting.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
