The 25-year-old reality star - who is best known for having won 'Love Island' back in 2019 alongside then-boyfriend Greg O'Shea - took part in the Channel 4 survival show but departed the programme on Sunday (11.09.22) after failing to complete a physical challenge on the beach and is concerned fans will think she "didn't push" herself hard enough.
She said: "Although I felt relieved, I was kind of like 'Oh for God's sake, the stereotype is still going to be strong, like you didn't push yourself enough and you're just from 'Love Island.'"
The former beautician went on to insist that she just "couldn't do anymore" during her short stint in military-style training because it became "too much."
She told The Sun newspaper's TVBiz column: "I couldn't do it anymore. It was just too much."
Meanwhile, Amber's fellow contestant and 'TOWIE' star Pete Wicks also left the programme after suffering several broken ribs when he fell out of a helicopter and will be "haunted" by his failure.
He said: "I was gutted actually. This is a bit of a thing for me, it's like I've always wanted to do this show and the worst thing for me was to be taken out because that's something that I can't control But being completely honest, they're a hundred percent right because I wouldn't have been able to carry on with my broken ribs.
To have been out so early, I was absolutely gutted because it's a fail And unfortunately now for me, I feel like I failed. It's something that will f****** haunt me because I just don't fail things."
'Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins' continues on Sundays at 9pm on Channel 4, with the likes of former 'EastEnders' star Maisie Smith, Olympian Fatima Whitbread, and ex-footballer Ashley Cain, as well as a host of other famous faces all vying to impress ex-US Marine Rudy Reyes in a bid to pass the challenges of the show.
