Jamie Lynn Spears, Mel B, and Kate Gosselin will test their survival skills in new reality show

Jamie Lynn Spears and Kate Gosselin are among the celebrity contestants that will compete on Fox’s upcoming reality series Special Forces: The Ultimate Test.

The duo will participate in ‘some of the harshest, most grueling challenges from the playbook of the actual Special Forces selection process,’ according to the network. 

Unlike most reality shows, the 16 stars will not face eliminations with each passing week, but continue as long as their able to push through the physical, mental and emotional obstacles on the program. 

The only way out of the show ‘is either forfeit due to failure or potential injury or be forced out by the agents,’ according to People. 

Former ex-special forces operatives Rudy Reyes, Mark ‘Billy’ Billingham, Jason ‘Foxy’ Fox and Remi Adeleke will lead the training exercises, designed to reveal ‘celebrities’ deepest and truest character.’ 

‘Special Forces: The Ultimate Test puts celebrities you know and love through the most pure and authentic test of endurance that I have ever seen. In many ways, it is more about mental strength than physical strength,’ Rob Wade, the president of alternative entertainment and specials, said in a statement.

Star-studded cast: Kenya Moore (pictured in 2019), Spice Girls’ Mel B, The Bachlorette’s Hannah Brown, Dr. Drew Pinsky, Beverley Mitchell, Real Housewives of Atlanta’s Kenya Moore, Mike Piazza, Dr. Drew Pinsky, Anthony Scaramucci are also among the celebrity contestants

He continued: ‘It’s an eye-opening glimpse into the most intense training in the world,’ Wade continued, ‘and gives a taste of the grit and bravery our armed forces show on a daily basis, which was a life-changing experience for these celebrities.’ 

Kenya Moore, Spice Girls’ Mel B, The Bachlorette’s Hannah Brown, Dr. Drew Pinsky, Beverley Mitchell, Real Housewives of Atlanta’s Kenya Moore, Mike Piazza and Dr. Drew Pinsky are also among the celebrity contestants. 

Others include Anthony Scaramucci, Dwight Howard, Montell Jordan, Gus Kenworthy and Tyler Florence.
