The popular Australian reality show SAS is coming back with a star-studded cast this year, including the controversial Cassie Sainsbury, otherwise known as “cocaine Cassie”.
Cassie spent three years in a Colombian prison for smuggling 5.8kgs of cocaine out of Bogota International Airport in 2017. Her experience in the slammer will undoubtedly come in handy as she competes against thirteen other celebrities, including fashionista Lindy Klim, Olympic athletes Matthew Mitcham and Stephanie Rice, actor Zima Anderson, and Tim Robards, famous for his stint on The Bachelor.
Confidential has revealed the full list of contestants, which also includes AFL commentator Abbey Holmes, Thai cave rescue hero Dr Craig Challen, AFL great Jason Akermanis and rugby player Mahalia Murphy.
“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,” a press statement for the show reads.
It continues, “The celebrities will be pushed beyond their limits like never before, as they’re subjected to extreme physical endurance, sleep deprivation, interrogation and psychological testing in unforgiving, dramatic terrain. Some will reach breaking point and withdraw. Who will have the mental strength to tough it out to the end?”
The official cast list promises an exhilarating season of SAS Australia. Shot in Jordan, the contestants will battle it out in various physical and mental challenges, all under the watchful eye of elite British ex-Special Forces soldier Ant Middleton.
The grueling show is one of the network’s flagship productions, and has featured personalities including Merrick Watts, Roxy Jacenko and Robards’ wife Anna Heinrich in the past.
