Before entering the show, the mother-of-two said she wanted to push herself out of her comfort zone by taking on the SAS challenge.
She said: “In my life, I’ve made so many mistakes, and it’s led me to stay in my comfort zone way too much.
“I think this is something so challenging, and something I never thought I could possibly do. Learning that I’m capable of doing that would feel quite amazing.”
After it was revealed that they had passed the course, Michaella joked to her fellow recruits that they should all get matching tattoos to celebrate the moment.
Chief Instructor, Billy Billingham said: “This course is designed to push you through barriers you would never imagine. To strip you back, physically, mentally and emotionally.
“This course is brutal. Our world is brutal. It will always come down to one question that we will ask ourselves. Would we have that person stood next to us.
“Number 3, 4 and 10. Congratulations, you have all passed this course. Well done. Seriously guys, good effort, that was a tough, tough course.”
Michaella said she “couldn’t believe it” when told she had passed.
“I just started crying, we all did,”she said.
“I really surprised myself. I didn’t expect that. I didn’t have any intentions of making it to that point, so when I did, I was really proud. I was like, yes!
“Anyone thinking about doing it, 100% do it. Forget about all the horrible and difficult stuff, those type of opportunities don’t come very often in life.
“And you’ll really get to see a completely different version of yourself, and the real, true you, which we disguise and we compress with everyday life, we forget who we really are, so do it!”
