Lauren and Locksmith won the series

Others were quick to praise the winning pair, with one tweeting: "Best show on TV. Congrats to both worthy winners. Respect." Another tweeted: "Yes @LaurenSteadman @Locksmith what an amazing effort in completing the course! Such an amazing achievement. Congrats to all the other participants. #SASWhoDaresWins." Speaking about the win, Lauren said: "It was totally different from anything I’ve done... but a similar feeling to when I won my first world title. Obviously, I’ve worked for years to win a world title, but it did feel as though I exhausted all sources of energy I had in those eight days. There was nothing more I could have given, so when they said I had passed it did feel like that moment someone puts a gold medal around your neck and you hear the national anthem."
