Buried alive!

Get ready for another epic season of SAS Australia

The most savage show on TV, SAS Australia, returns to Channel 7 and 7plus in October; with a new group of star recruits descending on one of the toughest environments faced by Special Forces operatives: the Middle East.

From being buried alive to launching live hand grenades and chaotic near drownings, this year’s recruits grapple with their biggest fears deep in the desert as they face SAS Australia’s punishing DS team led by Ant Middleton. Ant’s advice to the new recruits is simple: “If you are weak, easily offended or physically unfit, leave now!”

Former world boxing champion Anthony Mundine, ‘Cocaine Cassie’, Olympians Stephanie Rice, Peter Bol and Matthew Mitcham, Balinese princess Lindy Klim, Thai cave rescue hero Dr Craig Challen and Brownlow medallist Jason Akermanis are just some of the 14 Aussie celebrities who have volunteered for the toughest test of their lives: a series of physical and psychological tests from the real SAS selection process.

For the first time on SAS Australia, these men and women will travel offshore to a secret base in the Middle East, where they will eat, sleep and train together in punishingly hot and arid conditions, with no allowances or exceptions made for their celebrity status or gender.

The star recruits set to take on SAS Australia in 2023 are:

Abbey Holmes, 32 – AFL Field Commentator

Anthony Mundine, 47 – World Champion Boxer

Boyd Cordner, 30 – Retired NRL Star

Cassie Sainsbury, 28 – Convicted Drug Smuggler

Dr Craig Challen, 57 – Thai Cave Rescue Hero

Craig McLachlan, 57 – Actor

Jason Akermanis, 46 – AFL Hall of Famer

Lindy Klim, 45 – Balinese Princess

Mahalia Murphy, 29 – International Rugby Star

Matthew Mitcham, 35 – Olympic Gold Diver

Peter Bol, 29 – Olympic Runner

Stephanie Rice, 34 – Olympic Gold Swimmer

Tim Robards, 40 – OG Bachelor

Zima Anderson, 25 – Actor

SAS Australia is produced by Screentime, a Banijay Group company, based on a Minnow Films format. The new season premieres in October on Channel 7 and 7plus.

Golden girl fights for redemption

Stephanie Rice takes on SAS Australia

Twelve new celebrity recruits will attempt to pass selection on SAS Australia’s gruelling Middle Eastern desert course when the hit series returns to Channel 7 and 7plus in October.

Taking on the epic course is Olympic Champion Stephanie Rice, who says she wants to be the “best,” adding there’s no way she would go out without a “big strong fight.”

Rice is no stranger to challenges, having endured a Twitter scandal in 2010 that changed her life overnight.

“Winning three gold medals at the Beijing Olympics was the best thing that ever happened to me,” she says. “I was the golden girl of swimming; I could do no wrong. Overnight, that completely shifted. That tweet in 2010 definitely changed my life.”

For the first time on SAS Australia, the new celebrity recruits will travel offshore to a secret base in the Middle East where they will eat, sleep and train together in punishingly hot and arid conditions, with no allowances or exceptions made for their celebrity status or gender.

“I ain’t afraid of too much”

Anthony ‘The Man’ Mundine takes on SAS Australia

Twelve new celebrity recruits will attempt to pass selection on SAS Australia’s gruelling Middle Eastern desert course when the hit series returns to Channel 7 and 7plus in October.

Former three-time rugby league premiership player and three-time boxing world champion Anthony Mundine will face his toughest test yet when he takes on the unforgiving desert course.

Anthony admits he isn’t “afraid of too much” and is determined to dominate the course and pass selection.

“Yeah, you’re going to fail. But it’s not about the setback. It’s about the comeback. If I set out to do something, I’m going to do it. Period,” says Anthony.

For the first time on SAS Australia, the new celebrity recruits will travel offshore to a secret base in the Middle East where they will eat, sleep and train together in punishingly hot and arid conditions, with no allowances or exceptions made for their celebrity status or gender.

Looks like SAS Australia’s new season will start on Monday, October 9. My Kitchen Rules is on October 3, followed by The Voice finale five days later.
