An SAS interrogator has opened up about a brutal training ordeal that saw him being placed inside a "dog cage" and left outside to face the elements.

       Ian Dilks, otherwise known as 'Dilksy', who served in the Armed Forces for 24 years, this month discussed his career and the arduous training to which he was subjected in an interview with LADbible TV.

       He also trained SAS troops and prepared them for possible capture and interrogation, but it would appear that his own training proved to be just as intense and involved getting "kidnapped".

       Ian said: "You do a bit of training. You do some techniques where you go in different rooms and you sort of do a little bit of practising as it were and then you basically get kidnapped."

       He said the process involves being lulled into a "false sense of security" and explained what happened when he experienced it. Ian said he had a "night before" where he went out and had a drink, so he didn't return home until late.
