BEATEN, broken down and abused.

Behind her glamorous smiles and tough-nut persona, lies the heartbreak­ing truth about Nadine Harkness.

When telly hard man Ant Middleton welcomes his new female recruits on the new series of SAS: Who Dares Wins by announcing, “Welcome to HELL”, the 34-year-old Scot replies: “I’ve already been there. Bring it on.”

As she looks wide-eyed at the camera, her hard exterior falls away to reveal a harrowing tale of torment at the hands of men which led her to sign up to what will undoubtedl­y be one of the most talked about shows of 2019.
