AceShowbiz - Denise Richards, the 53-year-old actress and former "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star, is gearing up for her appearance on the highly anticipated third season of "Special Forces: World's Toughest Test". Premiering on FOX on Wednesday, January 8, the show is expected to be the most challenging yet.

In an interview with Us Weekly, Richards shared insights of her journey, describing it as "the most challenging thing I've ever done, ever, ever." While she's glad she participated, she laughingly admitted, "I would never do it again."

The reality series features celebrities training in Wales, emulating the rigorous conditions faced by actual special forces operatives. The show has garnered attention for its grueling tasks and lack of eliminations or voting, emphasizing pure resilience. This season's star-studded cast includes NFL star Cam Newton, "The Bachelorette" alums Trista Sutter and Ali Fedotowsky, and even Stephen Baldwin, among others. Athletes like Olympic gymnast Jordyn Wieber and pro surfer Alana Blanchard will also face the high-pressure challenges.

Richards indicated she leaned on friends like Trista Sutter and Marion Jones throughout the process, building strong connections. However, she was candid about the differences in their experiences, noting how everyone reacted uniquely to the challenges. Former Special Forces operatives will guide the contestants, ensuring a realistic and demanding training environment.

Among the highlights for season 3, fans can expect tasks such as a "high-pressure hostage rescue," a nerve-wracking "ladder crossing between steep cliffs nearly 100 ft above the sea," and a "boat dunk drill" requiring extensive survival skills. The celebrities must also endure a "surf immersion," pushing their limits to the brink of drowning.

The plot thickens with influencers like Kayla Nicole, who openly discusses her public breakup with Travis Kelce, adding a layer of personal growth to her story arc. Richards herself is seen in an emotional confessional, sharing her vulnerability and the challenges she faced under such extreme conditions.

With its no-glam, no-glory approach, "Special Forces: World's Toughest Test" promises to be a must-watch for those intrigued by psychological and physical endurance. Beyond the physical demands, the show allows celebrities to confront their fears and insecurities head-on, providing inspiring and raw moments of human resilience.
