In a recent interview with PEOPLE, Kate Gosselin spoke about her 'intense' experience on FOX's Special Forces: The World's Toughest Test reality series. The Jon & Kate Plus 8 actress, 47, says her children prompted her to compete in the celebrity bootcamp style competition and hoped it would earn her some 'cool mom honors.' The remark came a month after her son Collin, 18, told her he had no contact with his mother and that the family's hit TLC show tore them apart.

Jamie Lynn Spears, the sister of Britney Spears, is one of 16 celebrities put to the ultimate test in Fox's Special Forces: The Toughest Test. In the first moments of the new trailer (via Fox YouTube), the 31-year-old actress and singer is seen falling out of a helicopter and into the sea. In this new reality series in which celebrities will face real challenges used to select Special Forces soldiers, Spears is joined by Danny Amendola, Mel B, Tyler Florence, Kate Gosselin, Dwight Howard, Montell Benfield, Nuri Lloyd, Gilbert Bein, Beverley Mitchell, Dr. Drew Pinsky, and Anthony Scaramucci.

Konnor McClain, 17, stunned the world with her spectacular appearance on Sunday night and earned the coveted US championship. Konnor boosted her status and drew the world's attention when she reached a combined score of 112.750 over two nights of competition. Konnor has been a gymnast since she was 18 months old and has her sights on the 2024 Olympics. However, the 17-year-old had to learn how to strike balance between family, grief, and gymnastics before her rise to fame; her father, Marc (pictured inset with Konnor and her brother), died in December from COVID-19, and her grandmother died in the same week. The gymnast is improving her routine in the hopes of securing the top all-around gymnast in the world championships this fall.
