SAS Who Dares Wins star Jason Fox explains one motive why Brits are the perfect troopers

Telly hardman Jason Fox reckons Britain’s rubbish weather makes Brits the world’s best soldiers.

The SAS: Who Dares Wins star said our specialist fighters are so tough because they learn their craft in our miserable climate.

He said: “Britain produces some of the best soldiers in the world – because we train and learn to operate in the worst weather conditions possible.

“And if you can operate there – then when you’re on a mission everything falls into place.”

Jason – who is famous for barking instructions at terrified stars on the tough reality show – spoke as he tested golf brand Stromberg’s winter clothing range.

He continued: “The same applies to the golf course. If you can master the game when it’s lashing down – then when it’s blue skies and sun overhead, it’s an absolute breeze.

“Golf is both incredibly challenging, but worth putting the effort in for. I’d certainly consider bringing my handicap down as big a challenge as training for the SAS.”

Jason put Stromberg’s new all weather gear collection through its paces in the iconic location of Land’s End in Cornwall- which is renowned for having some of the wildest weather in Britain.
