MARNIE Simpson has come under fire from Celebrity SAS viewers after quitting the show.

The Geordie Shore star, 32, was branded a ‘brat’ by those watching at home as she threw a tantrum and ditched her partner during a testing challenge.

Marnie was paired with Anthony Agogo and they were asked to pull 130 pounds of kit in a race across three kilometres of icy terrain.

But it wasn’t long until the reality star decided it wasn’t for her as she struggled to put on her snow boots and stormed off.

Speaking to the camera before the task she insisted: “I don’t think I’m a diva. I can only do what’s physically possible. So if I’m doing something that I don’t believe is physically possible, I can’t do it.

“I just feel like a lot of people are just each man for themselves, kind of world. I mean, I’m not like that.

“I wouldn’t leave a man behind. But ultimately, not many people are like that.”

But when it came down to it, a frustrated Marnie moaned: “I just wanna go. I just wanna go home. I’ve accepted it. I’m just not cut out for it. It is what it is.”

Fans of the show were not impressed with her antics and took to social media to slam her.

One person wrote: “That Marnie…. Pathetic! Has the attitude of a 14 year old. Must be about 40 … shocking.”

A second wrote: “Spoilt brat.”

“Yep, still can’t stand Marnie! Spoilt brat who’s never worked a day in her life,” commented a third.

And a fourth said: “#saswhodareswins not sure who the young woman was who quit to leave, shes a social media personality ? But quitting because she can’t get some snow spikes to go on your boots is just showing how spoilt some people are.”

The reality star previously admitted she “wasn’t ready” to do the series so soon after giving birth.

Despite the show kicking off next week (September 26), it was actually shot over a year ago.

In fact, filming took place less than a year after Marnie gave birth to her second child.

Speaking to The Mirror she said: “I don’t think I realised just how tough it was going to be I think I was being a bit delusional.

“Mentally and physically I just wasn’t ready for it.”

Reflecting on whether she would sign up to Celeb SAS again, she said: “But I do think I’d tackle things differently if I ever did a show like this again.

“I’d make sure I was in better shape, both physically and mentally. “

The former Towie star and Strictly Come Dancing competitor has returned to the endurance military training course after suffering catastrophic injuries last year.

Determined to make it through this time, episode three of the show saw Pete push himself to his limit – with almost disastrous results.

On tonight’s episode, the remaining recruits were split into pairs and told to pull 130 pounds of kit in a race across three kilometres of icy terrain.

However, Pete’s partner (or ‘oppo’ in course terms) comedian Tez Ilyas, was forced to withdraw by DS staff, who declared him a “safety problem” halfway through the task.

However, this meant leaving Pete to carry everything by himself.

With encouragement from DS Billy Billingham, Pete continued, though as time wore on he began to slow down.

He then declared, “I’m dizzy, staff” before collapsing into the snow.

Billy urged Pete to drink some water and continue, but the star struggled to continue.

“He ain’t gonna make it,” said Billy, telling cameras, “He’s gonna die.”

Billy has since admitted he feared he’s killed Pete during the aggressive task.

Eventually, medical staff were brought in to bring him back to base camp to be assessed – much to the anger of Pete, who wanted to carry on despite admitting feeling sick.

Once assessed by the medical team, Pete was cleared to returned to the course, though was warned if it happened again, he would be medically withdrawn.

Speaking to cameras, Pete said: “I don’t find it easy relying on other people. I rely on me. Yeah, a bit of a lone wolf, really.

“I’m not very good at letting people in on stuff, because I feel like it’s my problem and I should be a deal with it.”

“And that’s not right, because in the end, all you’re doing is creating a bigger f**king hole for yourself, aren’t ya?”

Returning to the camp bunks, the rest of the recruits were relieved to see that he was OK, with Rachel Johnson joking “the Messiah had returned.”

“F**k me,” he responded. “I’ve got more lives than a f**king cat.”

The DS staff later praised him for giving “110%” – and revealed he was just 400 metres away from completing the course.

Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins continues tomorrow at 9pm on Channel 4.

Anna Delvey has said she is standing by the blunt comment she made about her brieft stint on Dancing with the Stars.

On 24 September, the 33-year-old convicted con artist was eliminated during week two of the competition after performing a quickstep dance inspired by The Devil Wears Prada with her professional partner, Ezra Sosa.

Delvey, whose real name is Anna Sorkinm was the subject of the hit Netflix series Inventing Anna. She has since been criticised by Dancing with the Stars judge Carrie Ann Inaba for the “dismissive” comments she made on-air following her elimination.

As one of the show’s hosts Julianne Hough asked Delvey what she would be taking away from her time on the show, Delvey bluntly replied: “Nothing.”

Addressing the exchange in the latest episode of Tori Spelling’s podcast misSPELLING, Delvey explained why she made the comment because it “was the truth”.

Delvey explained that the feedback she received from the judges each week had not “paid off” for her.

“[The judges] told me what I’m supposed to do. I tried to do it and then I still was rejected. And, I’m taking away nothing. This is what I’m taking away from it, because your advice was worthless,” she said.

“The advice did not pay off for me, even though I tried to follow it. And this is how I felt,” she continued. “I know… people were trying to interpret my answer in different ways, but no, not really. I really did not take away much from this experience.”

Delvey, who wore a bedazzled ankle monitor as a part of her costume while on the show, said she felt like she had to be “on the defensive” due to the backlash she received after being cast on the show.

“I think everyone on the cast was generally very nice to me. But in the end, I don’t know,” she said.

Delvey further expressed that she was confused as to why she was eliminated so early on in the competition, given how much “effort” the producers had put into casting her.

“Because I felt like, well, they were building me up. It’s like, oh, well, ‘Only if you smile more, only if you do like x y z,” she said. “It’s going to be so much better for you.’ And it felt like they put so much effort trying to get me on the show, like, make me feel comfortable just to… eliminate me this early.”

Delvey said that the overall experience was “a bit upsetting to me” and “felt like a waste of time to discard me so easily”.

In 2017, Delvey was charged with two counts of attempted grand larceny in the first degree, three counts of grand larceny in the second degree, and one count of grand larceny in the third degree after she stole more than $200,000 from businesses, banks, and friends while posing as a fake heiress.
