Not as high-profile a cast as the first season, IMO.
A few good names but too many randoms.
That is a pretty decent cast.
Manu again. My god give up.
I’ve met steffo before he is as tough as nails.
The format doesn’t need huge names, its getting the right type that is more important. the removal of ‘celebrity’ from the title would have been deliberate.
That said i know of most of them, all but 4.
Five for me.
I think the season 2 cast is just as good as season 1, if not better.
I was surprised that Manu signed up for SAS after doing Dancing with the Stars only a few weeks ago.
SAS Australia enlists 2021 star recruits
Eighteen celebrities to face the most difficult SAS course yet
The Seven Network is thrilled to announce the 18 celebrities who will take on one of the toughest tests of their lives in the new season of 2020 smash hit, SAS Australia .
NRL star Sam Burgess, tennis legend Mark Philippoussis, dual Olympian Jana Pittman, celebrity chef Manu Feildel, Bra Boy Koby Abberton, socialite Brynne Edelsten and singer-songwriter Pete Murray are just some of the stars to enlist for an extraordinary series of physical and psychological tests from the real SAS selection process.
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,” says Chief Instructor Middleton. “We aren’t holding anything back, it’s as authentic as it gets.”
The full line-up of star recruits set to take on SAS Australia in 2021 is:
-
Alicia Molik – Tennis Champion
-
Bonnie Anderson – Singer / Actor
-
Brynne Edelsten – Socialite
-
Dan Ewing – Actor
-
Emma Husar – Former Politician
-
Erin Holland – TV Presenter
-
Heath Shaw – AFL Star
-
Isabelle Cornish – Actor
-
Jana Pittman – Dual Olympian
-
Jessica Peris – Sprinter
-
Jett Kenny – Ironman
-
John Steffensen – Olympic Runner
-
Kerri Pottharst – Beach Volleyball Olympian
-
Koby Abberton – Bra Boy
-
Manu Feildel – Celebrity Chef
-
Mark Philippoussis – Tennis Legend
-
Pete Murray – Singer-Songwriter
-
Sam Burgess – NRL Star
Faced with more extreme challenges in mountainous and unforgiving terrain, these famous faces will eat, sleep and be tested in punishing conditions, with no allowances or exceptions made for their celebrity status or gender.
As they’re subjected to extreme physical endurance, sleep deprivation, interrogation and psychological testing, these men and women will need to push past their fears and their limits. Some will reach breaking point and withdraw. Who will have the mental strength to tough it out to the end?
The new season of SAS Australia will premiere on Channel 7 and 7plus later this year. The series is produced by Screentime, a Banijay Group company, based on a Minnow Films format.
Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s there purely as contractual obligation.
Gotta do something to remain a Seven Network personality now that MKR’s no longer on the air, I guess.
Surely he’ll be in Big Brother VIP.
Another point of interest - Jana Pittman was supposed to be in Season 1, but pulled out due to being pregnant, so as we now know, she will be in Season 2.
When was this season filmed? I assume it was after Bonnie Anderson wrapped up filming on Neighbours?
Season 2 has just started filming I believe.
Daily Mail claims the show has moved its base from Snowy Mountains to Blue Mountains, west of Sydney.
UPDATE: in fact filming has begun on season 2 this week.
Ant Middleton spoke to Kyle and Jackie O this morning. Ant confirmed that filming of Season 2 has just finished.
