Lieutenant James Scott from the King's Royal Hussars, based in Tidworth, lifted the winner's trophy in the final of the show which involved contestants confronting extreme and wacky obstacles with names like 'The Sweeper' each week.
Lt Scott, aged 25, used every ounce of his impressive six-foot-five (1.95m), 15-stone (95kg) physique to be crowned the series' 'Champion of Champions'.
The show was presented by Richard Hammond who nicknamed Lt Scott 'The Drill Sergeant'.
Lt Scott said:
"My Army training really paid off as tackling an obstacle course is about learning never to hesitate, to keep running at things hard, and keeping momentum going even when you fall off, which I did numerous times.
"I have to admit being fit and having long legs did help me wade out of the mud bath where many others simply crawled through it to scramble out.
"This show was competitive and it was so very close at the end as I was just a second faster around the final course. Overall it was great fun."
Lt Scott's love for adventure and challenge led him to join the Army in 2007, after he graduated from University of Wales Institute, Cardiff, where he was in the Officers Training Corps.
Army life was also in his blood as he followed his father Terence into the King's Royal Hussars. Terence was a major and a senior officer with the Hussars in the mid-eighties.
Lt Scott is currently a Troop Leader for 1st Troop 'C' Squadron which operates the Challenger 2 tank from their base in Tidworth:
"When I signed up for Total Wipeout my troop managed to persuade me that if I did go on it and win it I'd donate money to a Troop event," said Lt Scott who picked up thousands of pounds in winnings.
"I thought I was entirely safe and would not be going on the programme so I said of course I will. Now I've paid up and we've had a go-karting event at Thruxton. Out of my winnings I am also making charity contributions to the Army Benevolent Fund and Help for Heroes."
Now, after fulfilling his life-long ambition to appear in an adventurous TV programme, Lt Scott's love of action will not end. He aims to pursue a passion for sky-diving when he is not in command of a Challenger 2 tank.
