‘I was told by doctors, friends and family not to take part in the series, in the selection process, due to the health of my shoulder and the potential permanent damages, if I was to go an attempt that.
‘However, I do believe in the saying: ‘Take the risk or lose the change’. So I had a crack at it, and I believe the growth from that was unbelievable,’ he said of his time on the show.

‘I’m lining up here now to go under the knife, get a shoulder reconstruction due to the damages, wear and tear from the show.

Nick received well wishes from fans in the comments section as well as fellow recruit, Erin McNaught who wrote: ‘Ahhhhh Badge! All the best mate xx.’
SAS directing staff member Mark ‘Billy’ Billingham said: ‘All the best mate.’
