While many cast members have been speculated to appear on The Challenge Australia, Sarah is the newest name on the list, and her addition comes shortly after formed MAFS star Jessika Power admitted that she was dropped from the show.

“I had my contract signed, bags packed, everything ready and received a message from my manager stating that the American executives had made a creative decision to not include me on the show despite believing I am ‘good talent’. [sic].” she wrote on Instagram.
