Anna Heinrich has opened up about her fears for her husband Tim Robards ahead of his upcoming placement on SAS Australia.
Heinrich, who took part in the grueling reality show last year, has said that she thinks her hubby is concerned that he won’t do as well as her on the show. She lasted 11 episodes and made it to the final six before voluntarily withdrawing from the competition.
“I think he is more nervous about not doing as well as me. It is way worse than what you actually see,” Heinrich told Daily Telegraph. “So, yeah, I am worried.”
During her time on the show, Heinrich leaped from a boat and grabbed onto the rungs of a helicopter, and was set on fire. Speaking about her experience on the show, The Bachelor star described it as “brutal”.
“Once you are in that bubble, no one cares. You have got to give it your all. If you’ve hurt your finger or you’ve hurt your leg, they don’t really care, you’ve got to either get out or push through,” Heinrich said.
“It is brutal. What you see on TV, it is way more brutal than what you see on there.”
The cast list for SAS Australia was released earlier this week, and the show will see some big names in the upcoming season.
