This girl is on fire

Anna Heinrich has something to prove on SAS Australia

TV personality Anna Heinrich is on fire in an all-new sneak peek of the upcoming season of SAS Australia , starting February on Channel 7 and 7plus.

From being set on fire, to trying to escape a car boot, to jumping from a speeding boat into a helicopter, Anna is determined to show Australia what she’s made of.

“I don’t think the public will think I will go very far in this,” she says. “I want to prove them wrong.”

Anna – who with husband Tim Robards became parents to daughter Elle in late 2020 – is seen fighting back tears as she reveals the one thing she wants to give to her daughter.

“If I tell her that she can do something, I want to believe it in myself,” she says. “I would love to say I can do it. I don’t want to give up.”

Anna is one of 17 Aussie celebrities embarking on a life-changing experience – a gruelling series of physical and psychological tests from the rest SAS selection process.

These Aussie celebrities will be cut off from the outside world at a brand-new base in unforgiving jungle terrain, bordered by wild seas, dramatic cliff faces and rugged rocky outcrops.

There, they will eat, sleep and train together in punishing conditions, with no allowances or exceptions made for their celebrity status or gender.

Guiding recruits through the most gruelling course yet is Chief Instructor Ant Middleton and returning DS (Directing Staff) Ollie Ollerton, joined for the first time by retired US Navy SEAL Clint Emerson and former British Special Forces soldier Dean Stott.

The DS will push the celebrities beyond their limits, subjecting them to extreme physical endurance, sleep deprivation, interrogation and psychological testing. Some recruits will reach breaking point and withdraw. Who will have the mental strength to tough it out to the end?

The star recruits attempting to pass selection on the new season of SAS Australia are:

  • Anna Heinrich, 34 – TV Personality

  • Barry Hall, 44 – AFL Great

  • Darius Boyd, 34 – Retired NRL Star

  • Ebanie Bridges, 35 – Professional Boxer

Pauly bares all

Funny man Pauly Fenech gets serious on SAS Australia

Comedian Pauly Fenech bares all in an all-new sneak peek of the upcoming season of SAS Australia , starting February on Channel 7 and 7plus.

“People probably think I’m this burnout-doing, hot tub-loving, silly comedian,” the Fat Pizza and Housos creator and star explains. “This is going to be the serious side of Pauly Fenech people haven’t seen before.”

As he tackles the epic SAS challenges, Pauly appears to ruffle some feathers, with fellow recruit Locky Gilbert calling him a liability.

“I’m the little guy who’s copped it his whole life,” Pauly says. “TV people don’t look like me. I wouldn’t be here if I wasn’t resilient.”

Pauly’s trademark cheekiness is still evident however, as he strips naked in front of the DS (Directing Staff) and later dares to kiss Chief Instructor Ant Middleton.

“I have no shame,” Pauly admits. “If I pass, I’ll be like Muhammad Ali. I’ll be pumping myself up for the next 20 years.”

“You keep getting beaten down and every time you get back up,” Ant tells Pauly. “You are one tough guy.”

Pop princess’ terrifying SAS ordeal

Melissa Tkautz faces her fears on TV’s toughest test

A terrified Melissa Tkautz shakes with fear in an all-new sneak peek of the upcoming season of SAS Australia , starting February on Channel 7 and 7plus.

The pop princess is visibly distraught ahead of a mind-blowing new task, which sees recruits strapped into a submerged aeroplane as it flips upside down underwater.

“I don’t want to do it,” Melissa says. “I’m going to be sick. I’m so scared.”

Chief Instructor Ant Middleton tries to motivate Melissa, telling her: “People are saying you won’t last two minutes. Do you want to prove them wrong or prove them right that you’ve just faced your biggest fear?”

At 47, the iconic actress and singer – best known for her role on E-Street and 1990s pop hit Read My Lips – is the oldest female recruit on course this season.

“What if I make it to the bloody end,” she says. “It would be life-changing and a strength that you will have forever.”

“Train wreck” Carey comes clean

AFL legend Wayne Carey opens up on SAS Australia

AFL legend Wayne Carey is labelled a “train wreck” by the DS (Directing Staff) in an all-new sneak peek of the upcoming season of SAS Australia , starting February on Channel 7 and 7plus.

“I slept with a teammate’s wife,” Wayne reveals during an interrogation. “It’s haunted me for 20 years. My integrity will always be questioned.

“I’m not trying to prove anything to the public, it’s to myself,” Wayne says. “People can change, they evolve. Hopefully this can help me.”

The footy great turned commentator, nicknamed “The King”, is seen facing his fear of heights in the explosive new promo.

“My worst nightmare would be standing at the top of a mountain” he says, while shown scaling the cliff face of a thunderous 80-metre-high waterfall.

Cocky Locky

Reality TV star Locky Gilbert talks the talk on SAS Australia

Reality TV star Locky Gilbert oozes confidence in an all-new sneak peek of the upcoming season of SAS Australia , starting this month on Channel 7 and 7plus.

“I’ve survived an island and a pack of girls,” says the former Australian Survivor and Bachelor star. “This is my fourth TV show, how hard can this be?”

“I’m an egotistical, fame junkie,” Locky confesses. “That selfishness has gotten me here.”

Chief Instructor Ant Middleton is seen yelling in Locky’s face, telling him he’s too cocky: “This isn’t a reality show, you understand me?”

Describing himself as a “tough alpha male”, Locky butts heads with fellow recruit, comedian Pauly Fenech, calling him a liability.

“I don’t trust you,” Locky tells the Fat Pizza and Housos star.

In the deep end

Olympic diver Melissa Wu will not let size stand in her way

Olympian Melissa Wu reeks of determination in an all-new sneak peek of the upcoming season of SAS Australia , starting this month on Channel 7 and 7plus.

“I am the person that won’t give up,” says the four-time Olympic Games and four-time Commonwealth Games athlete.

At just over five feet tall (153 centimetres), Melissa has enjoyed success in her 19-year diving career, including Olympic Silver, Olympic Bronze, Commonwealth Gold and Commonwealth Silver medals.

But in distressing scenes, it seems Melissa may have met her match on the SAS course, as she’s seen slamming head first into the ground while exiting a gassing drill, with Chief Instructor Ant Middleton calling for medical assistance.

“I may not be the tallest or the strongest,” she says. “But what matters is that you keep bouncing back.”

There is a new, quite x-rated video of Orpheus Pledger doing the rounds yesterday. Even more x-rated than the one he put on his Instagram last year. He’s a bit of a liability this guy - will be interesting to see how he goes on this show.

What do you mean “doing the rounds”. Is it on a website like Only Fans or are people sharing it?

It’s on social media, not onlyfans. It looks to have been taken from Snapchat.

Big Bad Barry

AFL great Barry Hall puts his anger issues to the test on SAS Australia

The man they used to call “Big Bad Barry” opens up in an all-new sneak peek of the upcoming season of SAS Australia , starting Monday, 21 February on Channel 7 and 7plus.

“I’ve got a bit of an anger issue,” AFL great Barry Hall admits. “I think I’ve got it fully under control, but I haven’t been put under those pressure situations.”

Reflecting on his hardman reputation, Barry says: “I was so young and immature, I had a chip on my shoulder. Your biggest asset is your brain, I tried to use my brawn.”

Barry chokes up when speaking about his family: “No one likes see a grown man cry.

“I didn’t realise how selfish I was until I had a wife and kids. I’m doing this course to make my boys proud.”

Barry is one of 17 Aussie celebrities embarking on a life-changing experience – a gruelling series of physical and psychological tests from the rest SAS selection process.

Staring death in the face

Recruits face fears in brutal new challenges on SAS Australia

Staring death in the face is all in a day’s work for the 17 Aussie celebrities who have volunteered for the new season of SAS Australia , starting Monday, 21 February on Channel 7 and 7plus.

A terrifying new challenge sees pairs of recruits strapped into a submerged aeroplane as it flips upside down underwater, before they try to make their escape from the murky depths.

This is just one of 14 new tasks designed to push recruits to their limits and beyond to find out who they really are and what they are capable of.

From being set on fire or getting a face full of pepper spray, to jumping from a speeding boat onto a helicopter and escaping from the boot of a moving car, these recruits will be tested like never before.

“They have never faced anything like this,” says Chief Instructor Ant Middleton. “Through danger, their lives will change forever.”

Middleton is joined by returning DS (Directing Staff) Ollie Ollerton, retired US Navy SEAL Clint Emerson and former British Special Forces soldier Dean Stott to guide recruits through the most gruelling course yet.

The DS will subject them to extreme physical endurance, sleep deprivation, interrogation and psychological testing. Some recruits will reach breaking point and withdraw. Who will have the mental strength to tough it out to the end?

Advice from the latest SAS Promo - don’t set your clothes on fire!

Reminds me of Who Dares Wins actually, they had IIR a verbal disclaimer.

Koby Abberton has claimed he hasn’t been able to work or surf since tripping over a cameraman and injuring his hip and back while filming season 2 of SAS Australia in late 2020. Abberton, who now works as a surf instructor in Bali, said his insurance claim covered four months of medical costs of about $22,000, the support has stopped, leaving him unable to work and out of pocket by tens of thousands of dollars.
He was the second celebrity to withdraw from the season.
