At the beginning of April, it was announced that SAS Australia was looking for everyday people to take part in an upcoming season of the series, however, what we didn’t know was that a whole new host of celebrities were about to be put through their paces first.
The Seven Network has announced the 18 celebrities taking part in the second season of the hit TV series — the people who are about to take on one of the toughest tests of their lives.
Elite ex-Special Forces soldiers Ant Middleton, Mark “Billy” Billingham, Jason “Foxy” Fox and Ollie Ollerton are returning to lead the celebrity recruits, promising the most gruelling course ever seen in the UK or Australia.
“Living in our world will be the rawest and most brutal life lesson these celebrities will ever experience,” Middleton said in a statement. “We aren’t holding anything back, it’s as authentic as it gets.”
Physical fitness is little more than a necessary minimum and the true test will be what goes on in the mind of these new recruits. Stripped back to nothing but a number, the celebrities will be cut off from the outside world at a secret base in spectacular terrain where they will eat, sleep and train in punishing conditions.
They’ll also be subjected to extreme physical endurance, sleep deprivation, interrogation and psychological testing and above all, be pushed beyond their limits.
