Billy served over 20 years in the SAS having joined the Parachute Regiment at the age of 17. His life before joining the military was very different to his life afterwards. A criminal record, gang involvement and a close shave with death after being stabbed were replaced with discipline and respect.

In an extraordinary conversation with Pete, Billy opens up about the men who saved him, who made him realise that he wouldn’t amount to much if he continued down the path he was on.
