Anthony Ogogo is still suffering after getting frost bite during gruelling filming for Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins.<\/p>\n
The retired boxer and former Strictly star turned professional wrestler \u2013 who is contracted to All Elite Wrestling and appeared on screen for the first time in a year in the preshow for the company\u2019s Wembley Stadium event on Sunday \u2013 is set to be part of the 2024 series of the gruelling Channel 4 challenge show and he\u2019s admitted the experience was a difficult one.<\/p>\n
Speaking just before AEW\u2019s huge All In London show, he exclusively told Metro.co.uk<\/strong>: \u2018It was fun, it was just very hard! On telly, it\u2019s just someone lifting a boat and you see them grimacing and you\u2019re like, \u201cThat looks hard! That looks heavy!\u201d<\/p>\n \u2018You can\u2019t feel the weight of it. When you feel the weight of it \u2013 and then we were in New Zealand in their winter! I got frost bite, my two big toes are still numb from the experience. I\u2019m sitting there, I\u2019m shuddering!\u2019<\/p>\n While former Olympian Ogogo prides himself \u2018on being tough\u2019 \u2013 whether that\u2019s emotionally or physically \u2013 he was taken aback by the way he and his fellow cast members were put through their paces.<\/p>\n \u2018I feel like emotionally, physically, I\u2019m a tough dude! I\u2019ve done a lot in my life, I\u2019ve gone through a lot in my life, I\u2019m hardened. I\u2019ve got thick skin,\u2019 he smiled. \u2018It genuinely was one of the hardest things I\u2019ve done in my entire life.\u2019<\/p>\n The 34-year-old star thinks he put a target on his own back by \u2018drawing attention\u2019 to himself when he should have been embracing the idea of a \u2018grey man\u2019, which is needed to be a top spy.<\/p>\n \u2018You\u2019ll see I highlighted myself early doors which made it harder because the DS kind of picked on me a little bit,\u2019 he admitted. \u2018Spies aren\u2019t drawing attention to themselves, they\u2019re just going about their day, go in, do a very dangerous job, get out again \u2013 don\u2019t make a racket.\u2019<\/p>\n He laughed: \u2018Now\u2026 I\u2019m a peacock! I can\u2019t be the grey man! I just can\u2019t! I tried! On day two, I had quite an argument with somebody, and I was basically saying to DS, \u201cGet him! he\u2019s emotional! He\u2019ll make good TV!\u201d \u2018<\/p>\n Ogogo hasn\u2019t really been able to make a splash in AEW, after visa issues \u2013 his passport \u2018went missing\u2019 in transit as he sent it back to the UK to get renewed \u2013 but he\u2019s physically fit and ready to go.<\/p>\n \u2018It\u2019s frustrating, but I make the best of it,\u2019 he candidly admitted, noting he is taking on other projects \u2013 including SAS: Who Dares Wins, his own fitness app and a few film roles \u2013 to help his wrestling career.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/wp-content\/themes\/metro-parent\/img\/fallback.png\")
